Cut out pieces carefully to keep sizes uniform. It is a good idea to cut out a template piece without the seam allowance. Than place this template on the quilt piece and fold in seam allowance around template and press. This makes it much easier to stitch piece to background fabric, seams stay even and lay flat.

Alternate with and colored blocks until there are seven blocks across and eight blocks up and down.

Cut two strips of white for side border 6 inches by 104 inches and two strips for top and bottom ends 6 inches by 96 inches.

Add border, withit mitered corners. Line, pad, quilt and bind outside edge in color of choice.
