This beautiful apron uses one 8" quilt block. The block has a 1" border all the way around it, so the entire
measurement is 10" x 10" when completely finished. What a fun way to use a quilt block! Don't miss our
Free Quilt Lessons. It covers basic quilt techniques as well as
creating points (sewing triangles).

1/2 kitchen towel (I used yellow)
Thread (to match background)

First, cut out your pattern pieces for the muslin. I use butcher paper, bought on a roll at Costco.
