American Patchwork & Quilting - USA (2020-04)

In each unit, navy sailboat batik

pieces serve as the background for

two additional batiks; one batik is

used in positions A and C and the

other is used in positions B and D

(Fabric Placement Diagram). Refer to

circled numbers in diagrams for fabric

placement in each unit.

1

Referring to Diagram 1, lay

out the following pieces in four

vertical rows:

▫ navy sailboat batik: two 2^1 ⁄ 2 × 41 ⁄ 2 "

rectangles and four 2^1 ⁄ 2 " squares

▫ fabric 1 (positions A and C): one

21 ⁄ 2 × 61 ⁄ 2 " rectangle and one 2^1 ⁄ 2 "

square

▫ fabric 2 (positions B and D): one

21 ⁄ 2 × 61 ⁄ 2 " rectangle and one 2^1 ⁄ 2 "

square

2

Sew together Step 1 pieces in

rows. Join rows to make Unit 1

(Diagram 1). The unit should be 8^1 ⁄ 2 "

square including seam allowances.

3

Using fabric 3 pieces for positions

A and C, repeat steps 1 and 2 to

make two of Unit 2 (Diagram 2).

4

Using fabric 4 pieces for positions

A and C, repeat steps 1 and 2 to

make Unit 3 (Diagram 3).

5

Referring to Diagram 4, lay out

units 1–3 in pairs. Sew together

units in pairs. Join pairs to make

Block A. The block should be 16^1 ⁄ 2 "

square including seam allowances.

Repeat steps 1–5 to make three

A blocks total.
