You will need to make a total of FOUR sections to complete the quilt, or stop at one and make a really cute baby quilt. :) 1. Choose 5 dark prints from your FE bundle. I chose one from each colorway (yellow, orange, pink, gray, and green) 2. Iron each piece really well. 3. From 4 of the FE pieces, we need to cut the following: * 2.5" x 14.5" * 2.5" x 6.5" * 2.5" x 4.5" * 2.5" x 2.5" I cut 3 strips along the 22" edge at 2.5" wide, then sub cut them into the above pieces. These will be the 4 outer squares of the block. I also stacked 4 FE pieces and cut all of the above at once. :) 4. From the 5th FE piece, we need to cut the following: * 2.5" x 14.5" * 2.5" x 10.5" Original Recipe can be found at

5" wide. Sub cut into 16 @ 6.5 x 10.5 * cut 2 strips 6.5" wide. Sub cut into 16 @ 4.5 x 6.5 * cut 1 strip 2.5" wide. Sub cut into 16 @ 2.5 x 2.5 * cut 1 strip 2.5" wide. Sub cut into 8 @ 2.5 x 4.

3 I cut 3 strips along the 22" edge at 2.5" wide then sub cut them into the above pieces. These will be the inner square of the block. 5. From the white background fabric, cut: (This is ALL the white that needs to be cut for the blocks. If you only do one for a baby quilt, you just divide it by 4.) --for the blocks * cut 3 strips 10.5" wide. Sub cut into 6.5 x 10.5 * cut 2 strips 6.5" wide. Sub cut into 4.5 x 6.5 * cut 1 strip 2.5" wide. Sub cut into 2.5 x 2.5 * cut 1 strip 2.5" wide. Sub cut into 2.5 x 4.5 * cut 1 strip at 2.5" wide. Sub cut into 2.5 x 10.5 * cut 4 strips a 2.5" wide.

Example: I am using gray in the upper left quadrant, green in the upper right quadrant, orange in the lower left quadrant, and yellow in the lower right quadrant. Keep these positions throughout. 1.
