Step 2.MAKE THE FABRIC SQUARESTIP: Place your fabric squares on the rough sideof a sheet of medium grit sand paper to keep it from stretching or shifting while you draw your diagonal line.

A. Place the rst 6 square WRONG side up on aat surface (on top of the sand paper). Use your chalk pencil and ruler, and draw a linediagonally across the square.

B. Repeat Step 2A to mark the remaining 119 squares.

Step 3.MAKE THE BLOCKS A. Place a 6 square in the top left corner of the rst 16 1/2square with RIGHTsides together. Place the small square sothe marked line lays diagonally across the corner of the larger square. Match the raw edges and pin them in place. Stitchalong the marked line and backstitch* at each end.

B. Then use your ruler, rotary cutter and mat and cut across thematched corners leaving 1/4 on the outside of the stitching

line to create a seam allowance*. Use your pressing cloth andpress the seam open. NOTE: Save the triangles that you cut off for the baby quilt.

C. Repeat Steps 3A and 3B to attach a 6 square to the other 3corners of the rst 16 1/2 square.

D. Repeat Steps 3A through 3C to make the remaining 29Blocks.

Step 4.LAYOUT AND SEW THE QUILT TOPA. On a large at surface, lay out all 30 Blocks in six rows withve Blocks in each row. Alternate the octagon prints betweenprints 1 and 2. (See the layout at the top of the next column.)

B. NOTE: The QuiltTop is sewn to-gether in horizon-tal rows. Startingat the top leftcorner, place therst and secondBlocks RIGHTsidestogether match-ing the adjoiningedges and theseams. Pin themin place. Stitch a1/4 seam alongthe pinned edgeand backstitch ateach end. Pressthe seam allow-ances open.

C. Then place thethird Block RIGHT sides together matching theopposite edge of the second and pin it in place. Stitch a 1/4seam along the pinned edge and backstitch at each end. Pressthe seam allowances open.

D. Repeat Step 4C to attach the remaining Blocks in this row. Setthe row back into your layout.

E. Repeat Steps 4B through 4D to stitch the remaining 5 rows.

F. Next, place the rst and second rows RIGHT sides together matching the seams and the adjoining edges. Pin themin place. Stitch a 1/4 seam along the pinned edge andbackstitch at each end. Press the seam allowances open.

G. Then place the second and third rows RIGHTsides together matching the opposite edge of the second and pin it in place.Stitch a 1/4 seam along the pinned edge and backstitch ateach end. Press the seam allowances open.

H. Repeat Step 4G to sew the remaining rows to complete the

Quilt Top.

Step 5.MARK THE QUILTING LINESA. On a large at surface, lay the Quilt Top with the RIGHTsideup. Use your chalk pencil and ruler, and start at the seam thatattaches the rst and second rows and measure 8 up onto therst row. Make a mark along both side edges and at each seamthat attaches the Blocks. Draw a line connecting the marksmaking the quilting line parallel with the seam. This will leave8 1/4 along the top edge.

B. Repeat Step 5A to mark the quilting lines across the center ofthe remaining rows.

C. Repeat Steps 5Aand 5B to draw thequilting lines length-wise down the center of each Block. Themarked lines willdivide each 16 block into quarters.

Please set the QuiltTop aside while youmake the Quilt Back.

Step 6.SEW THE QUILT BACKNOTE: The Quilt Back is made with 3 coordinating prints. Each

print runs horizontally across the Back Panel, alternating each

print.

A. On a large at surface, lay out all of the Panel Bs. Start withPrint 2 and end with Print 3, alternating the three prints. Thenplace one Panel A at the top and bottom of your layout.

B. Place the rst Panel A and B RIGHTsides together. Matchthe adjoining edges and pin them in place. Stitch a 1/4 seamalong the pinned edge and backstitch at each end. Press theseam allowances open.

C. Repeat Step 6B to attach the second Panel B to the other long edge of the rst. Continue this process to attach the other panels together.

B. Then place the batting on top of the panel and smooth outany wrinkles.

C. Center the Quilt Top on top of the batting with the RIGHTsideup, creating a sandwich with the Quilt Back, batting and QuiltTop. Smooth out any wrinkles.

D. Use large safety pins and pin the layers together about every8 or hand baste* them using long basting stitches. Begin in thecenter of the Quilt Top and work your way to the outside edges. To hand baste, make a series of long running stitches

through all of the layers.

E. Machine or hand quilt along the marked lines and stitch-in-the-ditch* between each row and column. Begin in the center and work your way to the outside edges.

To stitch-in-the-ditch, sew in the groove formed bythe seam.

F. When the quilting is complete, use your ruler, rotary cutter andmat and trim the Quilt Back and batting even with the Quilt Top.

G. Hand or machine baste* very close to the raw edges com-pletely around the Quilt. This will secure the layers together before adding your binding. To machine baste, use the longest stitch on your machine,

so you can easily remove the basting stitches later if needed. Do not backstitch at either end o f your stitching.

Step 8.MAKE AND ATTACHTHE BINDINGA. Attach thestrips into one longcontinuous pieceby placing the rst 2strips perpendicular to each other withRIGHTsides together.Match the edgesand pin them inplace. Stitch a seamdiagonally acrossthe pinned edgeand backstitch ateach end.

B. Cut diagonallyacross the matchedcorners leaving a

1/4 on the outsideof the stitching line to create a seam allowance. Press the seamopen. Trim any fabric tails along the edges. Continue to at-tach the remaining strips to complete the binding.

C. Then fold the binding in half lengthwise with WRONG sidestogether. Match the long edges and press a crease along thefolded edge.

D. Place the RIGHTside of the Quilt Top facing up. Start at thecenter along one side edge, and match the raw edges of thebinding and Quilt, stopping at the rst corner. Pin them in place.

E. Leave the rst 5 unstitched, then sew a 1/4 seam, stopping1/4 from the rst corner and backstitch at each end. Clip thethreads and remove the quilt from your machine.

F. To form a neat mitered corner, fold the binding away fromthe corner forming a 45 angle. Then fold it back even with thenext raw edge and pin i t in place. Leave the folded edge ofthe binding even with the rst edge that was sewn.

G. Begin stitching again at the edge of the Quilt, backstitchingas you begin. Continue to pin and sew along the edge,stopping 1/4 from the next corner and backstitch again.

H. Repeat Steps 8F and 8G to miter the remaining corners andsew the rest of the binding in place. Stop stitching 10 fromwhere you rst began. Backstitch again.

I. Cut the binding so it overlaps the beginning edge by 6. Openthe beginning edge and cut it at a 45 angle. Fold this edge1/2 under toward the WRONG side of the binding and press.
