Assemble Blocks:

Note: Measurements include 1/4" seam allowances. Sew with right sides together unless otherwise stated. If no direction is specified, press the seam toward the darker fabric.

Directions are for Blocks 1.

Step 1 - Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of the 3-3/8" 80506034 NATURALS SCROLL,WHT squares. With right sides together, place one marked White square on a corner of one 5-1/2" 80576306-SNRISE GDN PAIS LCE,BLU square and stitch on the drawn line. Trim the seam allowance to 1/4" and press open. Repeat with the other Blue squares (figure 1). Make eight 5-1/2" units. Save two units for Block 9.

Step 2 - Mark two diagonal lines on the wrong side of the 4-1/4" 80582405 TANGLED BLNDER,PNK squares (a). Layer a marked pink square atop a 4-1/4" 80582431 TANGLED BLNDER,BLU square. Stitch 1/4" on each side of the marked lines (b), cut vertically and horizontally to make four equal squares (c), then cut each square on the drawn lines to make eight half-square triangles (d). Press open and trim dog ears (figure 2, here and next page). Repeat with the remaining Petal and Royal squares to make a total of eighty 1-3/4" half-square triangles (HST).

Step 3 - Sew a 80506034 NATURALS SCROLL,WHT triangle A to one side of the Step 2 units. Press open. Sew another triangle A to the adjacent side of the same units. Press open and trim ears (figure 3). On the wrong side of each patch, measure 1/4" from the wide edge and draw a line.

Step 4 - Measure 2-1/2" down from the top right corner of the Step 1 units and mark the spot with a short line. Measure 2-1/2" from the left bottom corner of the same units toward the right bottom corner and mark it with another short line. Following the Step 4 diagram next page: with the right sides together, align the 1/4" line of a Step 3 patch with the marks you just made on the Step 1 units. Pin and stitch. Trim the unit as shown, press open and trim ears (figure 4). Repeat with all the units. Save remaining Step 3 patches for the other blocks.

Step 5 - Repeat Step 1 with the 5-1/2" 80576309 SNRISE GDN SCROLLY FLWR,BLU squares and the 3-3/8" 80506034 NATURALS SCROLL,WHT squares, and Step 4 using the Step 3 patches (figure 5).

Step 6 - Noting fabric orientation, sew together one Step 4 unit with one Step 5 unit and press the seams open. Repeat to make six strips. Join two strips to make a block and press the seams open (figure 6). Repeat to make three 10-1/2" blocks.

Step 7 - Repeat Steps 1, 4, and 6 to make the remaining 5-1/2" squares of assorted colours, referring to Table 1 for the fabric combinations. Make seventeen more 10-1/2" blocks for a total of twenty.

Assemble Quilt Top:

Step 8 - Following the quilt photo for block placement and orientation, lay out five rows of four blocks each. Sew the blocks together in each row, then matching adjacent seams sew the rows together in order.

Step 9 - For border 1, join the five 2" 80506034 NATURALS SCROLL,WHT strips together end to end using diagonal seams. Measure the vertical length of the quilt top through the centre and cut two border strips that length. Sew one strip to each side of the quilt top and press the seams toward the border strips. Measure the width of the quilt top through the centre. Cut two border strips that length and sew one to the top and one to the bottom. Press the seams toward the borders.

Step 10 - Repeat Step 9 with the five 1-1/4" 80582405 TANGLED BLNDER,PNK strips to make and add border 2.

Step 11 - Repeat Step 9 with the six 4" 80576305 SNRISE GDN FLWRS W B/FLIES,BLU strips to make and add border 3.

Finishing:

Step 12- Create a quilt sandwich with the batting between the quilt top and the backing. Pin or baste layers together, mark quilting design, and quilt by hand or machine. When quilting is complete, remove pins or basting, and trim batting and backing even with raw edges of the quilt top.

Step 13- Join the six 2-1/2" 80582431 TANGLED BLNDER,BLU binding strips together end to end using a diagonal seam to make one long strip. Fold in half lengthwise and press. Sew binding to the edges of the quilt, mitering corners, and overlapping ends. Fold binding to the back of the quilt and stitch it in place by hand to finish.
