Oink a Doodle Moo (x) times Two..or Three

Hello from Jo and Kelli at Jo’s Country Junction. If you’ve read our blog, you know that we are farm gals and our guys are farmers. When we saw Moda’s new line “Oink a Doodle Moo”, we just knew we had to design something using it. We live, breathe, eat and sleep farming…we might as well sew it too! We ended up with not one, not two, but THREE baby quilts all from one jelly roll!! Isn’t that neat? After you read the tutorial, you’ll want to come over to our blog and sign up for a chance to win a free jelly roll to help you get started on your own set of quilts. Read on and we’ll show how to make them.

Using an easy angle ruler, cut each set to yield 2 half square triangles. Sew on the diagonal and press to the printed fabric. If you don’t know how to use an easy angle ruler follow this link for instructions.

2. Assemble each of the star blocks as shown. Use the same green, red, and blue squares throughout each of the individual blocks. Use the half-square triangles randomly through each of the blocks.
