Cutting and construction.
The picture shows where the pieces are located.
You will start in the middle with piece A and work your way out to the edges.
A – cut one 9” square.
B – cut one 10 ¼” square.
Cut that square in half diagonally in both directions - from the upper left corner to the lower right corner, and from the upper right corner to the lower left corner – making four triangles.
Sew the long edges of those four triangles to the sides of square A.
Trim this square in square piece to 12 ½”.
C – cut one 13 ¾” square.
Cut this square in half diagonally in both directions, making four triangles.
Sew the long sides of the four triangles to the 12 ½” square in square piece you made in the previous step. (Refer to picture for placement)
Trim to 17 ½”.
Sashing - cut two strips of fabric 1 7/8” by 171/2”. Sew them to two opposite sides of the 17 ½” square.
Cut two strips of fabric 1 7/8” by 21 ¼”.
Sew them to the remaining two sides.
D – cut four 7 7/8” squares.
Cut each one in half diagonally.
E - cut four 7 ½” squares.
Sew two D triangles to each E square. (Refer to picture for placement.)
The piece should now measure 28 ½” by 28 ½”.
Inner border – cut sixty 2 ½” squares.
Sew 14 squares together for each of two borders.
Sew these to opposite sides of the 28 ½” quilt.
Sew 16 squares together for each of the remaining borders.
Sew these to the remaining sides of the quilt.
Measure your quilt at this point. If your quilt does not measure 32 ½” by 32 ½”, cut the length of your outer border pieces in the next step to match your quilt.
Outer Border – cut two strips of fabric 4 ½” by 32 ½”.
Sew them to two opposite sides of the quilt.
Cut two strips of fabric 4 ½” by 40 ½”.
Sew these to the remaining two sides of the quilt.
