F UNITS

The following instructions result in

two F center units. Repeat cutting and

assembly steps to make four F center

units total. (This quilt used three.)

From one assorted print, cut:

▫ 1—6^1 ⁄ 4 " square, cutting it diagonally

twice in an X for 4 triangles total

From a second assorted print, cut:

▫ 1—6^1 ⁄ 4 " square, cutting it diagonally

twice in an X for 4 triangles total

Referring to Diagram 10, alternate two

triangles from each print. (If you are

using a directional fabric, make sure

motifs in those triangles are oriented

in the same direction.) Sew together

triangles in pairs. Join pairs to make

Center Unit F. The unit should be 5^1 ⁄ 2 "

square including seam allowances.

Repeat to make a second F center unit.

ASSEMBLE BLOCKS

Referring to Diagram 11, lay out four

white floral 3" squares, four matching

Flying Geese units, and one center

unit (A, B, C, D, E, or F) in three rows.

Sew together pieces in rows. Join

rows to make a block. The block

should be 10^1 ⁄ 2 " square including

seam allowances. Repeat to make 20

blocks total.

ASSEMBLE PINWHEEL UNITS

Optional triangle-square assembly

instructions (steps 1 and 2 here) are

opposite.

1. Mark a diagonal line on wrong side
   of each solid white 2^3 ⁄ 8 " square.


2. Referring to C Units, Step 2, use
   marked solid white squares and red
   small check 2^3 ⁄ 8 " squares to make 120
   triangle-squares. Each triangle-square
   should be 2" square including seam
   allowances, or 1^1 ⁄ 2 " square finished.


3. Referring to Diagram 12, sew
   together four triangle-squares in pairs.
   Join pairs to make a Pinwheel unit. The
   unit should be 3^1 ⁄ 2 " square including
   seam allowances. Repeat to make 30
   Pinwheel units total.

ASSEMBLE SASHING UNITS

1. Sew together two navy print 2× 42"
   strips and one white floral 7^1 ⁄ 2 × 42"
   strip to make a strip set (Diagram 13).
   Repeat to make five strip sets total.


2. Cut strip sets into forty-nine
   3 1 ⁄ 2 "-wide sashing units total. Each
   unit should be 3^1 ⁄ 2 × 10 1 ⁄ 2 " including
   seam allowances.

ASSEMBLE QUILT CENTER

1. Referring to Quilt Assembly
   Diagram, page 88, lay out Pinwheel
   units, sashing units, and blocks in 11
   rows. Sew together pieces in rows.


2. Join rows to make quilt center. The
   quilt center should be 55^1 ⁄ 2 × 68 1 ⁄ 2 "
   including seam allowances.

ASSEMBLE AND ADD BORDERS

1. Referring to Quilt Assembly
   Diagram, sew together six navy print
   2 × 3 1 ⁄ 2 " rectangles and five white floral
   2 × 10 1 ⁄ 2 " rectangles to make a long
   inner border strip. Press seams toward
   navy rectangles. The strip should be
   2 × 68 1 ⁄ 2 " including seam allowances.
   Repeat to make a second long inner
