Pattymac Makes shares an easy tutorial to stitching the stair step quilt block, turning basic half-square triangles into an eye-catching geometric design. You’ll build the block from four half-square triangles paired with crisp background fabric to let the stepped illusion pop. It features a bold triadic palette using red, yellow, and blue, but works just as well with any trio of contrasting stash prints. Prepping and trimming every fabric square to the same size makes cutting fast and uniform. Triangle placement is key to getting the stair-step angles aligned, so take a quick phone snapshot of your laid-out pieces before stitching to ensure everything points in the right direction!
Gather your primary scraps, trim your squares, and piece this vibrant DIY stair step quilt block for your next sampler quilt or patchwork cushion!
