- Sew short outer border units to opposite
edges of quilt center (Quilt Assembly
Diagram). Press seams toward quilt center. - Join Nine-Patch units to ends of remaining
short outer border units to make two long
outer border units. Press seams toward
Nine-Patch units. Join long outer border units
to remaining edges of quilt center. Press
seams toward quilt center. The quilt center
now should be 52^1 ⁄ 2 " square including seam
allowances.
ASSEMBLE CORNER UNITS
- Cut and piece solid turquoise 4^1 ⁄ 2 ×42"
strips to make:
▫ 4—4^1 ⁄ 2 × 521 ⁄ 2 " strips - Referring to Diagram 6, lay out in seven
rows 44 triangle-squares in any combination
of white and cream and the following solid
turquoise pieces: two 4^1 ⁄ 2 × 71 ⁄ 2 " rectangles, six
41 ⁄ 2 × 111 ⁄ 2 " rectangles, two 4^1 ⁄ 2 × 101 ⁄ 2 " rectangles,
two 4^1 ⁄ 2 × 61 ⁄ 2 " rectangles, and two 2^1 ⁄ 2 × 41 ⁄ 2 "
rectangles. (Designer Marion McClellan
randomly mixed cream triangle-squares
among the mostly white triangle-squares.)
Sew together pieces in rows; join rows. - Fold a solid cream corner triangle in half,
finger-press to mark centerline, and unfold.
Repeat to mark the centerline on remaining
corner triangles. - Fold a solid turquoise 4^1 ⁄ 2 × 521 ⁄ 2 " strip
in half crosswise, finger-press to mark
centerline, and unfold. Repeat to mark the
remaining solid turquoise 4^1 ⁄ 2 × 521 ⁄ 2 " strips. - Referring to Diagram 7, align centerlines
of a prepared corner triangle and a prepared
solid turquoise strip with center seam line
of a Step 2 unit to make a short corner unit.
Repeat to make four short corner units total. - Referring to Diagram 8, join two solid
white 13^1 ⁄ 2 " squares to a short corner unit to
make a long corner unit. Repeat to make a
second long corner unit.
