- Sew the components of each quilt block together. First, sew the three squares in a block's middle section together and press carefully (any direction). Now sew each block's two 2-1/2" x 6-1/2" bars lengthwise to opposite sides of the middle section. Press seam allowances towards the bars (upper row of illustration shows block components).
- Keep your design intact by working on one quilt block at a time and placing it back into the layout after it is assembled. When all blocks are complete, sew components of rows together.
- Press new seam allowances in adjoining rows in opposite directions. Join the rows. Press.
- Mark the top for quilting if necessary. Sandwich with batting and backing and quilt. Finish by applying the binding (How to Bind a Quilt).
