Cut Setting Squares and Triangles
Largish Scale Print w/Light Background
- Setting Triangles: Cut (3) 10-1/8" squares. Cut each square in half twice diagonally. Two triangles will not be used; save for another project, marking the lengthwise grain along their longest edges.
- Corner Triangles: Cut (2) 5-3/8" x 5-3/8" squares. Cut each square in half once diagonally.

Arrange Blocks & Setting Components
- Arrange quilt blocks, setting squares, and corner and setting triangles in diagonal rows as illustrated. Snowball blocks are surrounded by the Double V blocks, with their interior stripes running in the same direction.
- Sew the components of each diagonal row together (leave corner triangles off for now). Press seam allowances towards the setting triangles.
- Join rows, butting seam intersections for a perfect match.
- Center and sew each corner triangle to the four corners of the quilt.
- Press the quilt.
Sew Borders to the Quilt
Use my straight border instructions to measure and sew borders, one at a time. If you are a beginner, don't be tempted to measure the length along quilt sides -- they will be skewed. This is your opportunity to bring the quilt into square.
- Sew the inner border from 2" wide tone-on-tone green strips
- Sew the outer border from 4-1/2" wide light green strips.
