Pattern notes:

• Seam allowance is ¼in unless noted otherwise.
• WOF = width of fabric: assume 18in x 21in for Fat Quarter (FQ), and 9in x 21in for Fat Eight (FE).

 

 

Fabric Requirements:

(25 blocks + corners set on point | 4 1/2in unf. block size) Color A (cA) = Khaki  1 FQ Color B (cB) = Denin  1 FE Color C (cC) = Gold  1 FE Color D (cD) = Garnet  1 FQ Color E (cE) = Monarchs  1 FE Color F (cF) = Forest  1 FE Backing 2/3 yd Binding 1/4yd Batting 26in x 26in

 

Cutting instructions:

• Color A = Cut (2) 4 1/2in x WOF; sub-cut (8) 4 1/2in squares.
• Color B = Cut (2) 2 1/4in x WOF; sub-cut (16) 2 1/4in squares.
• Color C = Cut (2) 4 1/2in x WOF; sub-cut (6) 4in squares (Cut these squares ONCE in half on the diagonal); AND cut (2) 2 1/2in squares.
• Color D = Cut (4) 2 1/2in x WOF; sub-cut (16) 4 1/2in x 2 1/2in rectangles.
• Color E = Cut (3) 2 1/2in x WOF; sub-cut (18) 2 1/2in squares.
• Color F = Cut (2) 2 1/2in x WOF; sub-cut (16) 2 1/2in squares.
• Binding: Cut (3) 2 1/2in x WOF strips.

 

Block construction:

1. First, draw a diagonal line on the back of all Color B (2 1/4in squares).
2. Using the stitch and flip method, align (1) Color B square right sides together on (1) corner of each Color A squares. Sew on the line. Cut 1/4in far from the seam, flip the tip and press.
3. Repeat this method on (8) triangle parts of Color C fabric as well.

 

 

4. Next, sew (16) pairs of Color E + Color F AND (2) pairs of Color C + Color E.
5. Now we have all parts needed to sew the quilt top together.

 

 

Assembling the blocks:

6. Following the chart below, sew the blocks, then sew the rows.

• (16) blocks of Color D + the pair of Color E + Color F.
• (8) Color A squares with Color B tip.
• (1) four-patch of Color C + Color E.
• (4) Color C triangles.
• (8) Color C triangles with a Color B tip.
