Row #1

How To:

Draw a line on the wrong side of each 2½" background square.

Pair each 2½" background square with spool squares and leaf squares (a total of 8 pairs of

background fabric + print), right sides together.

Lining up the edge of your foot with the pencil line, sew a scant ¼" seam on each side of the

line.

Cut on the pencil line and press to the darker fabric.

Square up each HST to 2".

Make 12 sets of background/leaves HSTs and 4 sets of background/spool HSTs per block. Lay out your block pieces for the center as shown.

Piece together in rows.

Add background side strips and spool top and bottom. Press well.

Repeat step 2 to make 4 more blocks (5 total). Join 5 blocks and 6 lady fingers together to form Row 1

( 6) 4½” x 2½” rectangles

Instructions:

1. Arrange fabric pieces as shown below and sew rows together, pressing each seam as you go.

2. Join rows to create the block. Because there are no seams to match, press seams open or to the side (whichever is your preference).

You will need 8 blocks each for the top and bottom borders and 12 blocks each for the side borders (total of 40 blocks). 3. Join 8 blocks to create the top border. Repeat to create the bottom border. Attach to the quilt top. 4. Join 12 blocks to create one side border. Add 2" strips to each end of the border and attach to quilt side. Repeat to create the other side border.
