Sixteen quilt blocks that measure 6-1/2" x 6-1/2" are required for this portion of the quilt. Use any sixteen blocks if you do not wish to wait for the sampler designs to be released.
- Use a design wall or any flat surface to arrange your quilt blocks around the center medallion. Does the design appear balanced? Would shifting blocks around improve the quilt's appearance? Rearrange blocks as desired until you're happy with the look.
- Sew the three quilt blocks to the left of the quilt's central area together to create a vertical row. Press seam allowances either way. Repeat to create another 3-block row on the right side of the quilt.
- Sew the vertical rows to opposite sides of the quilt, carefully matching midpoints and ends of each section. Press seam allowances towards the blocks -- if that results in very thick seams, press towards the borders.
- Sew the two horizontal rows of blocks together in the same way. Press seam allowances towards the center blocks in each row and then sew one row to the quilt's top and the other to its bottom. Press.
- The quilt top should measure 30-1/2" X 30-1/2".
