CUT FABRICS
Cut pieces in the following order.From solid cream, cut:
▫ 10—3×42" strips for binding
▫ 8—2^1 ⁄ 2 × 401 ⁄ 2 " strips for outer
border
▫ 2—14" squares, cutting each in half
diagonally for 4 corner triangles
total
▫ 37—4^7 ⁄ 8 " squares

▫ 16—2^1 ⁄ 2 " squares
From solid white, cut:
▫ 4—13^1 ⁄ 2 " squares
▫ 74—4^7 ⁄ 8 " squares
▫ 4—4^1 ⁄ 2 " squares
From solid turquoise, cut:
▫ 6—4^1 ⁄ 2 ×42" strips
▫ 10—3×42" strips for binding
▫ 6—2^1 ⁄ 2 × 401 ⁄ 2 " strips for inner and
outer borders
▫ 2—2^1 ⁄ 2 × 361 ⁄ 2 " inner border strips
▫ 111—4^7 ⁄ 8 " squares
▫ 24—4^1 ⁄ 2 × 111 ⁄ 2 " rectangles
▫ 8—4^1 ⁄ 2 × 101 ⁄ 2 " rectangles
▫ 8—4^1 ⁄ 2 × 71 ⁄ 2 " rectangles
▫ 8—4^1 ⁄ 2 × 61 ⁄ 2 " rectangles
▫ 29—4^1 ⁄ 2 " squares
▫ 8—2^1 ⁄ 2 × 41 ⁄ 2 " rectangles
▫ 20—2^1 ⁄ 2 " squaresASSEMBLE TRIANGLE-SQUARES
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.- Use a pencil to mark a diagonal line
on wrong side of each solid cream and
solid white 4^7 ⁄ 8 " square. - Layer a marked solid cream square
atop a solid turquoise 4^7 ⁄ 8 " square. Sew
together with two seams, stitching
(^1) ⁄ 4 " on each side of marked line
(Diagram 1). Cut apart on marked line
and press open to make two cream
triangle-squares. Each triangle-square
should be 4^1 ⁄ 2 " square including seam
allowances. Repeat to make 74 cream
triangle-squares total.
- Using marked solid white squares,
instead of solid cream, repeat Step 2
to make 148 white triangle-squares
(Diagram 2).
ASSEMBLE QUILT CENTER
- Referring to Diagram 3, lay out
solid turquoise 4^1 ⁄ 2 " squares, 46 cream
triangle-squares, solid white 4^1 ⁄ 2 "
squares, and solid cream 4^1 ⁄ 2 " squares
in nine rows. - Sew together pieces in rows.
Join rows to make quilt center. The
quilt center should be 36^1 ⁄ 2 " square
including seam allowances.
FINISHED QUILT: 93^3 ⁄ 4 " squareMATERIALS
Yardages and cutting instructions
are based on 42" of usable fabric
width.
Although this may look like a
two-color quilt, designer Marion
McClellan used both solid white
and solid cream to give the quilt
more interest. The solid turquoise
is Splash—the Kona Color of the
Year 2019—from the Kona Cotton
