CUT THE FABRICS
Cut the Fabrics
WOF = Width of Fabric
LOF = Length of Fabric
From each of the light fabrics marked with * , cut:
1 – 4-7/8” x WOF strip, recut into 4-7/8” squares
1 – 4-1/2” x WOF strip, recut into 4-1/2” squares
From each of the dark fabrics marked with + , cut:
1 – 4-7/8” x WOF strip, cut into 4-7/8” squares
From the Royal Blue cut:

4 – 4-1/2” x WOF strips (inner border)
5 – 2-1/2” x WOF strips (binding)
INSTRUCTIONS
Use 1/4” seam allowances.
Make the Pieced Squares:
- On the wrong side of thirty-eight light (*) background 4-7/8” squares, draw a diagonal line (Figure 1). Layer these squares together with a dark ( + ) background square. Use a variety of combinations.
- Sew 1/4” away from the line on both sides of the drawn line. Cut apart on the drawn line and press to form 4-1/2” pieced squares.
- Make a total of seventy-six pieced squares.
Quilt Assembly:
Note: You do not need to place each individual fabric in the same place as the cover quilt, as long as you follow the placement of the “darks” and “lights”.
- Using Figure 2 as a guide, lay out and sew eight of the pieced squares (from above) together in each of eight horizontal rows. Pay close attention to the placement of the darks and lights as well as the direction of the diagonal seams in each row.
- Sew the rows together to make the quilt center.
- Measure the width of the quilt through the center from top to bottom. Trim four Royal Blue (Dark Raspberry) 4-1/2” strips to this length. Sew a strip to the left and right sides of the quilt. Press seams toward the border strips.
- Sew two of the remaining pieced squares (from above) to each end of the two remaining strips. Press seams toward the long strips. Sew to the top and bottom sides of the quilt.
- Sew the remaining eight pieced squares and thirty-six light (*) 4-1/2” squares together for the four outer borders, as shown in the cover picture, to complete your quilt top.
- Layer and quilt as desired. Bind and label to finish.
