Block Assembly

Nine Patches

For each Nine Patch, sew the 8 1/2" squares into rows alternating the background and main fabrics. Use the quilt image above as a guide. Make three rows.

Sew the rows together into a block.

Make 5 Nine Patch blocks.

Quarter Square Triangle Blocks

For the Quarter Square Triangle blocks, lay a 25 1/4" square on top of another of a different color, right sides together.

Draw a line diagonally from one corner to the other.

Sew a 1/4" from the line on each side.

Cut apart on the drawn line.

Press the Half Square Triangles

Repeat this process with the remaining two 25 1/4" squares.

Lay the two Half Square Triangle blocks right sides together, matching the diagonal seams.

Draw a line diagonally from one corner to the other (not the same diagonal as the seam).

Sew a 1/4" from the line on each side.

Cut apart on the drawn line.

This makes 4 Quarter Square Triangle blocks.

Quilt Assembly

Using the diagram above, sew the blocks into rows and the rows into a quilt.

Quilt as desired.
