2.Pick out another 40 squares and cut in half to make 80 2 1/2″ x 5″ pieces.
3.Place 4 2 1/2″ x 5″ pieces around each of the 20 squares. (I could say to do this randomly, but I did spend some time arranging the fabrics and colours!)
4. Sew a 2 1/2″ x 5″ piece to two opposite sides of a square.
It should look like this:
6. Cut into 1 1/2″x 4 1/2″ strips.
7. Sew the 1 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ strips to the strips of background fabric.
8. Cut the strips into 1 1/2″ pieces and press open, press seam towards darker fabric.
9. Sew two pieces together to give a square with four small squares and a checked effect. Make 80.
10. Sew a square to each side of remaining 40 2 1/2″x 5″ pieces from step 4.
11.Sew these to original pieced rectangles. Make sure to match seams.
12. The squares should measure 9″ x 9″.
13. From background fabric cut 49 1 1/2″ x 9″ strips.
14. Sew 9″ squares together in rows of four, using background fabric as sashing.
15. From remaining squares in charm pack, cut 30 1 1/2″ squares.
16. Sew 1 1/2″ square to end of 1 1/2″ x 9″ strip, add another square. Continue until there are four background strips and six coloured squares in the row.Make six strips.
17. Join strips of pieced squares together using this sashing. Make sure to match seams.
Should look like this:
18. Cut 5 2 1/2″xWOF for border. Sew on border. Press.
Finished size approx. 43″ x 52″

4. Place a plain square on top of a patterned square, right sides together.
5. Sew a 1/4″ seam on both sides of the diagonal line that is marked on the fabric.
6. Cut along the pen line marked on the square.
7.Press the triangles open to give two squares. Trim off any the ‘ears’ at both edges of the square. You should have 16 matching pairs Half Square Triangles (32 in total!).
8. Take one of each fabric pattern and arrange Half Square Triangles in a 4×4 grid. Keep swapping them about until you are happy with the arrangement. Remember, the centre four will be the ones which will be seen on the on the seat. Sew the Half Square Triangles together.
9. Make another 4×4 grid for the chair back, again swap them until you are happy with the arrangement!
OR Place some heavy weight paper on top of the chair seat and using a felt tip pen, trace around the edge of the chair. Repeat for the back of the chair.
Cut out template. Place template on top of the seat to make it is the correct shape. Repeat for the back template.
Add on approx. 2″ around the edge of the templates for both the seat cover and the back cover.
11. To make the casing for the elastic, fold in 1/2″ of the end of the bias binding, place on top of the seat cover, right sides together.
12. Using a scant 1/4″ seam, stitch in place around the entire seat cover, stopping 2″ from where the stitching was started. On the bias binding mark with a pin where the bias binding overlaps, cut off the binding 1/2″ from this pin.
14. Fold the bias over onto the wrong side of the cover and pin in place.
15. Sew around the inside edge of the bias binding to complete the elastic casing.
16. For the chair seat, cut a piece of elastic 22″ long and for the chair back, cut a piece 17″ long. Place a safety pin on the end of the elastic and thread it through the casing.
