Assembly Instructions

Cutting Instructions

- Sew a Fabric E Inner triangle to either side of a Fabric B square. Press seam allowances toward the triangles and trim the points from the triangles to even up the sides (fig. 1).

Tip: Your piecing will be more accurate if you fold the square and

the triangles in half to mark the centers and then match up the centers. Do this each time you sew new triangles to the center.

- Sew two more Fabric E Inner triangles to the remaining sides of the Fabric B square. Press seam allowances toward the triangles (fig. 2).

- Trim the block so there is 1/4” seam allowance past the Fabric B corners. Your block will be about 9” square.

Tip: Your block size may be a bit smaller, or larger, than 9” depending on the size of your seam allowances. As long as you keep the seam

allowances consistent, your blocks will all end up the same size.

- Refer to the chart and cut the number of squares specified for each fabric.

- Cut each 7” x 7” square on the diagonal once to make two triangles. These will be the Outer Triangles.

- Cut each 7-1/4” x 7-1/4” square on the diagonal twice to make four triangles. These will be the Inner Triangles.

Step 2

- Sew a Fabric A Outer Triangle to either side of the block you make in Step 1. Press seam allowances toward the triangles and trim the points from the triangles to even up the sides (fig. 3).

- Sew two more Fabric A Outer triangles to the remaining sides of the block. Press seam allowances toward the triangles (fig. 4).

- Trim the block so there is a 1/4” seam allowance past the Fabric E corners. The block will be about 12-1/2” square.

Tip: As with Step 2, it is ok if your blocks are not exactly 12-1/2”, as long as they are all the same size. It is more important that

you have a 1/4” seam allowance past the points.

- Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to make a total of twelve blocks. You may refer to the quilt photo on page 1 to match up your fabrics, or choose your own layout.

Step 3: Quilt Assembly

- Sew the blocks into four rows of three blocks each, then sew the rows together lengthwise to complete the quilt top (fig. 5).

- Baste, quilt, bind and enjoy!
