Yardage requirements for this pattern may allow for excess yardage to accommodate specific place-ment of motifs or to allow for any fussy-cutting to achieve the finished quilt design.

While every attempt has been made to give accurate measurements, yardage requirements, and con-struction directions; this does not allow personal variations in measuring, cutting, and or sewing. The enclosed directions were used in the construction of the original quilt.

Four 3 ½” squares are sewn together to make one 6 ½” block. Block ‘C’ is a 6 ½” right square triangle block with a 4 ½” and a 2 ½” contrast square sewn to the inside. Four of these blocks join in consecutive rows to make a 12” finished square on point block.
