- Make five rows that match the top portion of the illustration. Make three rows that match the bottom portion of the illustration. Press seam allowances towards quarter square triangle blocks.
- Assemble the quilt top, orienting the first two rows as shown and repeating that arrangement as you work downward. Press.
- Use 5-1/2" wide strips of light fabric to make the quilt border. Beginners - don't be tempted to measure your quilt along its outer edges, because it is likely skewed a bit. Borders are an opportunity to square up the quilt before the finishing steps. (Border Instructions)
- Mark the top for quilting if necessary. Sandwich with batting and backing and quilt. Finish by applying the binding.
If you want to separate the light fabric in quarter square triangle units from the like-fabric in the border, add a narrow, contrasting border first. Use 1-1/2" to 2-1/2" strips to make the border.
