Place one (1) of each quarter-
block as shown in Fig 7 and sew
a 2in x 10in grey strip between
them. Make two (2) half-blocks. Sew
a 2in orange square between two (2)

TECHNICAL TIP
In a quilt of many colours
and contrasts, it can
be dicult to settle on
a thread colour for the
quilting. Variegated thread
comes in a huge range of
colourways and can be a
brilliant choice for blending
between multiple colours
and varied fabrics.
