Sewing

Sew using a 1/4" seam allowance with right sides together (RST) unless otherwise indicated. Always press towards the darker fabric while assembling, unless otherwise noted by the arrows.

Block Assembly

Step 1 - Sew (1) 3" x WOF Fabric D strip, (1) 3" x WOF Fabric C strip, (1) 3" x 44" LOF Fabric B strip and (1) 3" x WOF Fabric A strip together lengthwise and in that order to make (1) DA strip set (Fig 1). Repeat to make (3) DA strip sets total.

Step 2 - Using the template provided, cut (6) Block One triangles and (7) Block Two triangles (Fig 2).

Note - Only (3) Block One triangles and (2) Block Two triangles can be cut from each strip set. In order to cut the correct number of triangles, four strip sets are needed for some blocks.

Step 3 - Repeat Steps 1-2 and use Figures 3-7 for fabric identification, order and direction of cut to make the designated number of blocks.

Step 4 - Follow Figure 8 and sew (13) assorted triangles together as shown to make (1) Column 1 strip. Repeat to make a second Column 1 strip.

Step 5 - Follow Figure 9 and sew (13) assorted triangles together as shown to make (1) Column 2 strip. Repeat to make a second Column 2 strip.

Step 6 - Follow Figure 10 and sew (13) assorted triangles together as shown to make (1) Column 3 strip.

Step 7 - Follow Figure 11 and sew (13) assorted triangles together as shown to make (1) Column 4 strip..

Quilt Top Assembly

Follow the Quilt Layout while assembling the quilt top.

Step 8 - Sew the (6) columns together lengthwise as shown in Figure 12. Trim the block to measure 61 1/2" x 71 1/2" as shown to make the Centre Block.

Step 9 - Sew (1) 1 1/2" x 71 1/2" Fabric E strip to each side of the Centre Block. Sew (1) 1 1/2" x 63 1/2" Fabric E strip to the top and to the bottom of the Centre Block.

Step 10 - Sew (1) 2 1/2" x 73 1/2" Fabric T strip to each side of the Centre Block. Sew (1) 2 1/2" x 67 1/2" Fabric T strip

to the top and to the bottom of the Centre Block to make the quilt top.

Layering, Quilting and Finishing

Step 11 - Press the quilt top and 75" x 84" backing well. Layer backing (wrong side up), batting, pressed quilt top right side up) and baste. Quilt as desired and trim excess batting and backing when quilting is complete.

Binding

Step 12 - Cut the ends of the (8) Fabric T binding strips at a 45-degree angle and sew end to end to make (1) continuous piece of binding. Fold in half lengthwise and press wrong sides together.

Step 13 - Sew the binding to the front of the quilt, raw edges together. Turn the folded edge to the back, and hand stitch in place.
