Block Construction: |
| There
are eight blocks that are colored similarly which are on the top
and bottom rows of the quilt. To construct one of these blocks,
cut as follows: |
 |
- From N547-114T, cut two squares 4 7/8" x 4
7/8" and cut in half on the diagonal to form
four piece A triangles. (One of these will not be
used in the block).
- From N546-150T, cut two squares 4 7/8" x 4
7/8" and cut in half on the diagonal to form
four piece A triangles. Cut one square 5 1/4" x
5 1/4" and cut in half on both diagonals to
form four Piece B triangles.
- From N541-114T, cut one square 4 7/8" x 4
7/8" and cut in half on the diagonal to form
two piece A triangles. (One of these will not be
used in the block).
- From any of the colored prints, cut one square 5
1/4" x 5 1/4" and cut in half on both
diagonals to form four Piece B triangles. (You will
only use two of the triangles in the block).
- From a different colored print, cut two square 5
1/4" x 5 1/4" and cut in half on both
diagonals to form four Piece B triangles. (You will
use six of these triangles in the block.
- From a third colored print, cut two squares 4
7/8" x 4 7/8" and cut in half on the
diagonal to form four piece A triangles. (These are
the large star points.)

|
| Sew three
of the Piece A background triangles to Piece A dark
green triangles to form 3 half-square triangle units.
Sew the remaining Piece A background triangle to the
Piece A green triangle to form an additional half-square
triangle unit.
Sew a print quarter-square Piece B triangle to a
background quarter-square Piece B triangle to form a
larger triangle. Repeat to make 4 of these units. Then,
sew the pieced triangle to the other colored large Piece
A triangle.
Sew a color print quarter-square Piece B triangle to
the remaining color print quarter-square Piece B
triangle. Repeat with the last two triangles. Sew these
units together to make a square.
Then, lay out the pieced squares as shown. Sew the
squares into three rows & then sew the rows into a
block.
Repeat to make a total of eight blocks using the
light blue background print, the dark brown and the
green corner triangles. Always use different color
combinations for the star points and interior pieced
square. |

Using these same measurements & cutting directions, you'll
also need to make twelve blocks using these colors. The primary
difference with these blocks is the brown floral background
print and the corner triangles: |
 |
- From N547-114T, cut two squares 4 7/8" x 4
7/8" and cut in half on the diagonal to form
four piece A triangles.
- From N546-113T, cut two squares 4 7/8" x 4
7/8" and cut in half on the diagonal to form
four piece A triangles. Cut one square 5 1/4" x
5 1/4" and cut in half on both diagonals to
form four Piece B triangles.
- From N541-114T, cut one square 4 7/8" x 4
7/8" and cut in half on the diagonal to form
two piece A triangles.
- From any of the colored prints, cut one square 5
1/4" x 5 1/4" and cut in half on both
diagonals to form four Piece B triangles. (You will
only use two of the triangles in the block).
- From a different colored print, cut two square 5
1/4" x 5 1/4" and cut in half on both
diagonals to form four Piece B triangles. (You will
use six of these triangles in the block.
- From a third colored print, cut two squares 4
7/8" x 4 7/8" and cut in half on the
diagonal to form four piece A triangles.

| Finally,
make twelve blocks using this combination, including a green
floral background print: |
 |
- From N547-114T, cut two squares 4 7/8" x 4
7/8" and cut in half on the diagonal to form
four piece A triangles.
- From N546-114T, cut two squares 4 7/8" x 4
7/8" and cut in half on the diagonal to form
four piece A triangles. Cut one square 5 1/4" x
5 1/4" and cut in half on both diagonals to
form four Piece B triangles.
- From N541-114T, cut one square 4 7/8" x 4
7/8" and cut in half on the diagonal to form
two piece A triangles.
- From any of the colored prints, cut one square 5
1/4" x 5 1/4" and cut in half on both
diagonals to form four Piece B triangles. (You will
only use two of the triangles in the block).
- From a different colored print, cut two square 5
1/4" x 5 1/4" and cut in half on both
diagonals to form four Piece B triangles. (You will
use six of these triangles in the block.
- From a third colored print, cut two squares 4
7/8" x 4 7/8" and cut in half on the
diagonal to form four piece A triangles

|
| The
setting triangles include a golden tan print and a corner
triangle to continue the design of the quilt. Six corner
triangles use the light green print, eight use the dark green
print. |
 |
- From N541-114T, cut three squares 4 7/8" x 4
7/8", cut in half on the diagonal
- From N547-114T, cut four squares 4 7/8" x 4
7/8", cut in half on the diagonal
 From
N542-113, cut fourteen strips 6 1/8" x 18
1/8". Use the 45º markings on your ruler to
cut both ends of the strip to form a parallelogram.
|
|
| Sew a
light green triangle on the short side of six of the
parallelograms. Sew a dark green triangle on the short side of
eight of the parallelograms.
Cut four corner triangles from N542-113. Cut two squares 9
3/8" x 9 3/8" and cut in half on the diagonal to form
four triangles.
Layout the blocks as shown, with the blue background blocks
on the top & bottom row. Alternate the green & brown
background blocks in the center of the quilt. The quilt is sewn
together in diagonal rows.
Measure the length of your quilt top. Cut 2" wide strips
from N636-126T and piece them together to equal the length. Sew
on the strips.
Measure the width of your quilt. Cut strips 2" wide from
N636-126T and piece them together to equal the width. Sew on the
strips.
Repeat this process cutting 6 1/2" wide strips of
N549-113T for the outer border of the quilt. Bind with
2-1/2" wide strips of N552-113T. |
