Navajo Blanket Quilt – part 3

How’s your Navajo Blanket coming along? This week we’re up to Part 3 which Anne was inspired to include when she saw it used on a piece of Navajo pottery. This quarter square triangle technique is quick and easy to do on the sewing machine; it does require you to sew an accurate 1/4" seam though.Anne has teamed the units up with some plain squares, and then added a fudge factor -don’t we just love that!
