- Sew Rows together to make Center Section of quilt top.
- Sew strips together to make Strip Set. Make 32 Strip Sets.
- (Note: White or light-colored fabrics may need to be lined with fusible interfacing before applying fusible web to prevent darker fabrics from showing through.) Follow manufacturer’s instructions to fuse web to wrong sides of Strip Sets and remaining strips. Remove paper backing.
- Follow Step 1 of Template Cutting, found here.
- Referring to Step 2 of Template Cutting (found on page 6 of the downloadable PDF) and placing center line of template on seamline, use Template A to cut 127 A’s from Strip Sets (Fig. 1). Use Template B to cut 17 B’s from remaining black print strips and 17 B’s from remaining tan print strips. Find templates and instructions here.
- Referring to Fig. 2, follow Invisible Appliqué, page 6, to stitch A’s over seamlines of Center Section and to stitch B’s at outside edges of outer squares.
- Sew top, bottom, then side inner borders to Center Section. Add top, bottom, then side outer borders to complete Quilt Top.
