Constructing the Attic Windows Quilt Block

Sew the Tone on Tone Fabric to the Oriental Square

  1. Align the coordinating tone on tone fabric with the right hand side of the square, right sides together and making sure the top edges of both pieces are flush with each other.

  2. Use a pencil or straight pin to make a mark 1/4" inward from the side and bottom edge of the oriental print.

  3. Sew the pieces together from top to bottom, stopping at the mark. Take a couple of backstitches to secure the seam and remove the unit from the sewing machine.

  4. Fold the tone on tone strip out of the way as illustrated and align the black strip along the bottom of the square, right sides of the fabric together and left edges flush with each other.

  5. Fold the right edge of the black strip out of the way and find your original mark -- the spot where you stopped sewing the first fabric to the square.
