Note: Use the fabric color chart on the back page to determine
fabric placement in the design. Each fabric has been assigned a
number from 1 to 20 and corresponds to that number in the
illustration on the facing page.
Making the Blocks
Four-Patch Blocks
Make sixteen each of ten color combinations
1. Find the fabric strips for colors 1 and 2. You will have two strips
of each fabric. Stitch the long side of a fabric 1 strip to the long
side of a fabric 2 strip. Repeat with the remaining pair of strips.
Press toward the darker fabric.
2. Cut sixteen units from each strip set, for a total of thirty-two
units. (figure 2)
2½"
3. Stitch together two units made in step 2 to make a four-patch
block. Repeat to make a total of sixteen four-patch blocks. Press
seam allowances to one side.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 with strips in the following color
combinations: 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14, 15/16,17/18, 19/20
Half-Square Triangle Blocks
Make sixteen each of ten color combinations
5. You will have two 10" squares of each fabric. Locate and stack
squares together in the following color combinations :
5/9, 13/14, 15/17, 20/8, 1/7, 2/19, 3/4, 16/18, 6/10, 11/12
6. Once you have paired up all the squares, you may
stack one color combination on top of another, if
you feel comfortable cutting that many pieces at
one time. Now, cut each stack into four stacks of
47 ⁄8" squares.
7. Leave them stacked and cut each stack of 47 ⁄8"
squares once diagonally from corner to corner to
make two half-square triangles from each square.
(figure 4)
8. Leave the triangles
stacked and place the two
short sides of the triangle
along the 41 ⁄2" lines of your
ruler. Use a rotary cutter to
cut off the “dog ears” at the
edges of the ruler. (figure 5)
9. Keeping the triangles in
the color combinations
specified in step 5, select
two triangles to form a halfsquare
triangle block. With
right sides together, stitch along the long, bias side, being careful
not to stretch as you sew. Press the seam allowance toward the
darker fabric. Repeat with the remaining pairs of triangles.
Quilt Top Assembly
10. Refer to the Quilt Top Layout (figure 1) and the project photo
and lay out the four-patch and half-square triangle blocks in rows.
11. Stitch the blocks into rows. Press each row so that the seams
oppose those in the rows above and below.
12. Stitch the rows together to complete the quilt top.
Press the seam allowances to one side.
Finishing
11. Layer the quilt top, batting and backing and quilt
as desired.
12. Cut eight 21 4½" line
fig. 5
⁄4"-wide strips from the binding fabric.
Stitch the binding strips together end to end using
bias (45°) seams. Fold and press the resulting long strip in half
lengthwise with wrong sides together. Stitch to the front of the
quilt, matching raw edges and being careful to leave the triangle
points at the edges of the quilt top intact.
13. Hand-stitch the folded edge of the binding to the back of the
quilt, mitering the corners.
