Block Size – 12” (12.5” unfinished)Here you can see a closeup of the fabrics in the blocks.

Block A-1 Block B-1

The Challenges of this Quilt

It is important to follow the pressing pattern closely.You want the seams to nest when you join the blocks.

The blocks around the edge of the quilt are slightly different.Please note the color changes for these blocks.

It is also critical to always know where the top of the block is.It is easy to get confused and turn blocks sideways or upside down.

Place a straight pin in the TOP of each of your blocks.You will know at a glance if your blocks are correctly oriented when you sew them together.

If you want to make the quilt using two alternating blocks (no color changes for the outside) then make (32) of Block A-1 and (32) of block B-1.
