The tedious part . . begin sewing the quilt together in diagonal rows.  The lines indicate the rows.

You’ll have tomorrow (or really . . as long as you want) to work on this step.

Cutting Instructions:

Border Fabric:
1  – 2-7/8″ strip.  Cut into 5 – 2-7/8″ squares (W)

Sewing Instructions:

21.  Pay very close attention to the color layout and be sure you get the pieces in the correct place.  Using the sections from Step  17, and Step 5, make the side triangles.

22.  Cut 5 – 2-7/8″ border fabric squares (W) on the diagonal once so you have 10 triangles.  Sew a 1-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ accent strip (F)  (from Day #2) to the short side of one of the triangles.  Sew a 1-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ accent strip (U)  (from yesterday) to the remaining short side.  Make 10.  Refer to the color Layout to see which 4-1/2″ colored squares should be used.

23.  Use a section from Step 17:

24.  Using the sections from Steps 21 and 23, make the following:

That’s it for this week!

Cutting Instructions:

Border Fabric:
1  – 2-7/8″ strip.  Cut into 14 – 2-7/8″ squares (R)
1 – 3-1/4″ strip.  Cut into 1 – 3-1/4″ square (T).  Save the rest of the strip.  You’ll use it later.

Accent Fabric:
4 – 1-1/2″ strips.  Cut into 28 – 1-1/2″ x 5″ rectangles (S)
2 – 1-1/2″ strips.  Cut into 14 – 1-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ rectangles (U)  (4 will be used today, 10 tomorrow)

Sewing Instructions:

15.  Cut the 2-7/8″ border fabric squares (R) on the diagonal once.  Sew a strip from Step 1 to one side of the triangles as shown below.  Make 14 of each of the units shown.

16.  Cut one end of the 1-1/2″ x 5″ accent rectangles (S) at a 45° angle as shown below:

17.  Sew these strips to the sides of the units from Step 15, paying attention to get the piece with the correct angle on the correct section.  Make 14 of each.

18.  Cut the 3-1/4″ border fabric square (T) on the diagonal twice so you have 4 triangles.  Mark the center of the long edge of the triangle and the center of a 1-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ accent strip (U).  Match the centers and sew together.  Trim the edges of the accent strip so the two sides are at a 45° angle as shown.

19.  Sew a unit from Step 18 to a 4-1/2″ square of each of the four colors (V).  Make one for each color.

20.  Sew a unit from Step 17 to each side of the four units from Step 19.  These are the four corner units.

Hope you got all these steps done! 

Cutting Instructions:

Background Fabric:
6 – 4-1/2″ strips.  Cut into 48 – 4-1/2″ squares (N)
2 – 1-1/2″ strips.  Cut into 28 – 1-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ rectangles (Q)

Accent Fabric:
1 – 1-7/8″ strip.  Cut into 14 – 1-7/8″ squares (P)

Gold:
1 – 4-1/2″ strip.  Cut into 12 – 4-1/2″ squares (O)

Sewing Instructions:

13.  Assemble the block, using the segments from Step 12, 4-1/2″ background squares (N) and a 4-1/2″ gold square (O).  Make 12.

Now we’re going to get started making the corner and setting triangles:

14.  Cut the 1-7/8″ accent squares (P) on the diagonal once.  Sew to one end of a 1-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ background rectangle (Q).  Make 14 of each of the units shown below.

That’ll do it for today!

Cutting Instructions:

Fabric is already cut for this step.

Sewing Instructions:

11.  Mark the center of one end of each of the colored strips.

12.  Using the matching color, cut the 2-7/8″ colored squares (M) on the diagonal once and position over the ends of the segments from Step 11 to create the segment shown below.  Make 12 of each color.

Here’s a not so good video that might help you if you have trouble placing your triangles.

Cutting Instructions:

Background Fabric:
12 – 2″ strips (K)

Sewing Instructions:

10.  Sew a 2″ background strip (K) to the top and bottom of a 1-1/2″ colored strip (L).  Make 1-1-/2 strip sets of each of the four colors.  Press seam allowances towards colored strip.  Cut each color into 12 – 4-1/2″ segments.  You will have 12 segments for each color!

That’s it for this week.  Try to get all caught up before next week . . ok?
