American Patchwork & Quilting – October 2019

CUT FABRICS

Cut pieces in the following order.

Organize the eight fat quarters into

four pairs of complementary prints.

Choose one fabric from each pair to

be used for the star points and chain

of squares in the block corners; label

these prints A. The remaining fabric

in each pair will be used for the block

centers and diamond shapes; label

these prints B.

Designer Corey Yoder prefers to

make triangle-squares larger than

necessary and trim them to size. To use

this method, cut 2^1 ⁄ 2 " squares instead

of the 2^3 ⁄ 8 " squares listed in cutting

instructions.

From each A print, cut:

▫ 4—3^1 ⁄ 2 " squares

▫ 8—2× 31 ⁄ 2 " rectangles

▫ 12—2" squares

From each B print, cut:

▫ 1—3^1 ⁄ 2 " square

▫ 12—2× 31 ⁄ 2 " rectangles

▫ 4—2^3 ⁄ 8 " squares

▫ 8—2" squares

From cream tone-on-tone, cut:

▫ 2—2×41" border strips

▫ 3—2×38" sashing and border strips

▫ 2—2× 181 ⁄ 2 " sashing strips

▫ 16—3^1 ⁄ 2 × 61 ⁄ 2 " rectangles

▫ 32—2× 31 ⁄ 2 " rectangles

▫ 16—2^3 ⁄ 8 " squares

▫ 160—2" squares

From coral print, cut:

▫ 5—2^1 ⁄ 2 ×42" binding strips

ASSEMBLE BLOCKS

Measurements include^1 ⁄ 4 " seam

allowances. Sew with right sides

together unless otherwise stated.

Press seams in directions indicated

by arrows on diagrams. If no direction

is specified, press seam toward darker

fabric.

1. Gather all pieces from one pair
   of prints. From cream tone-on-tone,
   gather four 3^1 ⁄ 2 × 61 ⁄ 2 " rectangles, eight
   2 × 31 ⁄ 2 " rectangles, four 2^3 ⁄ 8 " squares,
   and forty 2" squares.


2. Referring to Diagram 1, lay out
   three A print 2" squares, two cream
   tone-on-tone 2× 31 ⁄ 2 " rectangles, and
   two cream tone-on-tone 2" squares
   in three rows. Sew together pieces in
   rows. Join rows to make a corner unit.
   The unit should be 5" square including
   seam allowances. Repeat to make four
   corner units total.


3. Use a pencil to mark a diagonal line
   on wrong side of 24 cream tone-on-
   tone 2" squares, cream tone-on-tone
   23 ⁄ 8 " squares, and B print 2" squares.
