c. Cut (6) strips at 2-1/2” x WOF – Join all the strips at the 2-1/2” edge for the3. Fabric C – Cut as follows:

a. Cut (1) strip PARALLEL to each SELVAGE edge to yield (2) strips at 6-3/4” x 7strip into (1) 32-1/4” x 6-3/4” rectangle and (1) 40-3/4” x 6-3/4” rectangle t3/4” rectangles (Top and Bottom) and (2) 6-3/4” x 40-3/4” rectangles (LeftBorder 4.

7. Do exactly the same process for Block B as done for Block A except replace Fabric E with Fabric D asillustrated in the Finished Blocks for “Block B” – Make (14) – Label “Block B” and set aside for use later.

Step 3 – Sewing on Border 1, 2 and 38. Sew (1) Fabric B 1-1/2” x 28-1/4” rectangle to the left and right sides of (1) Fabric A 19-3/4” x 28-1/4”

rectangle, then sew (1) Fabric B 21-3/4” x 1-1/2” rectangle to the top and bottom to measure 21-3/4” x30-1/4” to finish Border 1.

9. Referring to the illustration of the Cover Photo – Sew Block A, Block B, and Border 2 (Cornerstones)together as follows:

a. Left and Right Sides – Sew the blocks together from top to bottom to measure 4-3/4” x 30-1/4”(Make 2) – Block B, Block A, Block B, Block A, Block B, Block A, Block B, then sew to the left andright sides of the Center to measure 30-1/4” x 30-1/4”.

10. Sew (1) Fabric B 1-1/2” x 38-3/4” rectangle to the left and right sides of the Center, then sew (1) FabricB 32-1/4” x 1-1/2” rectangle to the top and bottom to finish Border 3 at 32-1/4” x 40-3/4”.

Step 4 – Border 411. SIDES – Sew (1) Fabric C 6-3/4” x 40-3/4” rectangle to the left and right sides with the DARKEST tone

Step 5 – Finishing the QuiltNote about Backing:You may use a 1-3/4 yards piece of wide backing. Or if using 42” to 44” wide fabric, cut (2) backing pieces at 1-3/4 yards by WOF, and the seam will be horizontal. If using directional print, cut (2) backing pieces at 2 yardsby WOF, and the seam will be vertical. Sew the SELVAGE edges together using a 1” seam then trim the selvageoff and press to one side.
