1. From each of 2 fabrics, cut 1 square 7⁄8" larger than the

desired finished size of the triangle-square. For example, to

make a triangle-square that will finish 2¼" as in the Stone

Cottage quilt, cut 31⁄8" squares.

2. On wrong side of lighter square, place the Quarter Inch

Seam Marker diagonally across the square, with the yellow

center line positioned exactly at opposite corners. Mark

stitching lines along both sides of the Quarter Inch Seam

Marker (Photo A).

3. Place light square atop darker square, right sides facing;

stitch along both marked sewing lines.

4. Cut between rows of stitching to make 2 triangle-

squares (Photo B).

Use this technique to make the triangle-squares for Stone Cottage.

the Fons & Porter Quarter Inch Seam Marker is great for marking accurate

sewing lines for this method.
