CUT FABRICS

Cut pieces in the following order.

Designer Vicki Ruebel prefers to make her

triangle-squares larger than necessary, then

trim them to size. To do this, cut 6" squares

instead of the 5^7 ∕ 8 " squares specified in the

cutting instructions.

From solid olive green, cut:

■ 4—5^1 ∕ 2 × 101 ∕ 2 " rectangles

■ 20—5^7 ∕ 8 " squares

■ 4—5^1 ∕ 2 " squares

From solid lime green, cut:

■ 18—5^7 ∕ 8 " squares

■ 4—5^1 ∕ 2 " squares

From solid light pink, cut:

■ 6—5^7 ∕ 8 " squares

From solid dark teal, cut:

■ 6—5^1 ∕ 2 ×42" strips for border

■ 7—2^1 ∕ 2 ×42" binding strips

■ 4—5^1 ∕ 2 × 101 ∕ 2 " rectangles

■ 12—5^7 ∕ 8 " squares

■ 4—5^1 ∕ 2 " squares

From solid aqua, cut:

■ 4—5^7 ∕ 8 " squares

■ 4—5^1 ∕ 2 " squares

From solid dark pink, cut:

■ 8—5^7 ∕ 8 " squares

ASSEMBLE UNITS

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 ) Use a pencil to mark a diagonal line on

wrong side of 12 solid olive green, 18

solid lime green, and four solid light pink

57 ∕ 8 " squares. (To prevent fabric from

stretching as you draw lines, place 220-grit

sandpaper under each square.)

2 ) Layer a marked solid olive green square

atop a solid dark teal 5^7 ∕ 8 " square. Sew

together with two seams, stitching^1 ∕ 4 "

on each side of drawn line (Diagram 1).

Cut pair apart on drawn line. Press open

to make two Unit A triangle-squares.

Each unit should be 5^1 ∕ 2 " square including

seam allowances. Repeat to make 24 A

units total.

3 ) Repeat Step 2 to make units B–F using

remaining marked squares and solid 5^7 ∕ 8 "

squares in the following color combinations

(Diagram 2):

■ 16 B units—solid olive green and marked

solid lime green squares

■ 8 C units—solid aqua and marked solid

lime green squares

■ 8 D units—solid dark pink and marked

solid lime green squares

■ 8 E units—solid dark pink and marked

solid light pink squares

■ 4 F units—solid light pink and marked

solid lime green squares

ASSEMBLE QUILT CENTER

1 ) Referring to Diagram 3 and noting

rotation of units, arrange one solid dark

teal and one solid olive green 5^1 ∕ 2 × 101 ∕ 2 "

rectangle; one each of solid dark teal,

olive green, lime green, and aqua 5^1 ∕ 2 "

squares; and six A, four B, two C, two

D, two E, and one F unit in five rows.

2 ) Sew together pieces in rows. Join rows to

make a quilt top quadrant. The quadrant

should be 25^1 ∕ 2 " square including seam

allowances.

3 ) Repeat steps 1 and 2 to make four

quadrants total.
