Sew the strips to eachside of the Fabric A panel. Measure the Fabric A panel width and trim the 3" Fabric C to the same measurement. Sew the strips tothe top and bottom of the Fabric A panel to make the quilt top center. Trim the quilt top center to measure 30-1/2" x 36-1/2".2. Place one 3-1/2” Fabric G square on the left side of one 3-1/2” x 6-1/2” Fabric E strip right sidestogether (Fig. 1). Sew across the diagonal of the square from the upper right corner to the lower leftcorner (Fig. 1). Flip open the triangle formed and press (Fig. 2). Trim away the excess fabric frombehind the triangle leaving a 1/4“ seam allowance.3. Place one 3-1/2” Fabric D square on the right side of 3-1/2” x 6-1/2” Fabric E strip, right sides together (Fig. 3).

To make one square-in-a-squareblock, place one 3-1/2” FabricG square on the top left cornerof one 6-1/2” Fabric F square,right sides together. Make surethe lighthouse fabric is face upas shown with an arrow (fig. 6).Sew across the diagonal of thesmaller square from the upperright corner to the lower leftcorner (fig. 6). Flip open thetriangle formed and press (fig.7). Trim away the excess fabricfrom behind the triangle 1/4"away from the sewn seam.6. Follow Figure 8 for the seamdirection to add another 3-1/2”Fabric G square to the upperright corner of the Fabric Fsquare and two 3-1/2” Fabric Dsquares to the lower corners(fig. 9). Repeat to make fourtop row blocks.7. Follow Steps 5-6 and Figure 10for fabric placement to makefour bottom row blocks. RepeatSteps 5 and 6 to make five leftside blocks (fig. 11) and fiveright side blocks (Fig. 12).8.

Sew the pieced borders to the quilt top.9. Place one 6-7/8” Fabric E square on top of one 6-7/8” Fabric G square, right side together. Draw a line across the diagonal of the topsquare (Fig. 15). Sew ¼” away from each side of the drawn diagonal line (Fig. 15). Cut the two squares apart on the drawn diagonalline (Fig. 16) to make two half-square triangles(Fig. 17). Repeat to make four half-square triangles total.10. Follow Figure 18 to sew together the four top square-in-a-square blocks, one of each flying goose units and two half-square trianglesto make the top pieced border.

To miter each corner, fold quilt top on a diagonal wrong side together, this should line up the strips from adjacent sides (Fig. 21).13. Starting at the sewn seam (represented by the arrow in Fig. 21) draw a 45˚ line out to the edge of the fabric. Sew on the drawn line.Trim the excess fabric leaving a 1/4“ seam.
