Sew four fussy-cut triangles together to make a square, being careful not to stretch the bias edges. Trim to 21 1 2 (54.61cm) square (Fig. 1 on page 4). Make a total of (4) squares. 2. To assemble the block, sew a 4 1 2 x 21 1 2 (11.43cm x 54.61cm) Fabric C strip to opposite sides of a square. 3. Sew a 4 1 2 Fabric B square (11.43cm) to each end of a 4 1 2 x 21 1 2 (11.43cm x 54.61cm) Fabric C strip. Make a total of (2) strips. 4. Matching adjacent seams, sew (1) Fabric B/C strip to the top and the other to the bottom of the square (Fig. 2 on page 4). 5. Repeat Steps 2-4 for remaining three blocks, substituting Fabric D for Fabric C on (2) blocks. 6. Alternately sew together (3) 4 1 2 (11.43cm) Fabric B squares and (2) 4 1 2 x 29 1 2 (11.43cm x 74.93cm) Fabric E strips (Fig. 3 on page 4). Make a total of (3) sashing strips. 7. Alternately sew together (3) 4 1 2 x 29 1 2 (11.43cm x 74.93cm) Fabric E strips and (2) different blocks to make one row (Fig. 4 on page 5). Make (2). 8.

Sew together the (8) 2 1 2 x WOF (6.35cm x WOF) Fabric F binding strips end to end using diagonal seams. Press the seams open. Press the binding strip in half wrong sides together. 10. Layer the backing (wrong side up), batting, and quilt top (right side up). Baste the layers together and quilt as desired.

Where these two loose ends meet, fold them back on themselves and press to form a crease. Using this crease as your stitching line, sew the two open ends of the binding together right sides together. Trim seam to 1 4 (.64cm) and press open. Finish sewing binding to quilt. 12. Turn the binding to the back of quilt and hand-stitch in place. 3 of 10
