Pieced Block Assembly:(Using violet/green/gold block quadrant as an example)

1. It is advisable to mark on the wrong side of the cut pieces the seam allowance, and intersection points.

2. Sew together one gold tone-on-tone filigree "B" piece, one purple tone-on-tone mask print "F" piece, and one green tone-on-tone filigree "A" piece together to make sub-unit #1.

3. Sew together one purple tone-on-tone mask print "C" piece, one gold tone-on-tone filigree "E" piece and one purple tone-on-tone mask print "D" piece together to make sub-unit #2.

4. Since the overall seam between sub-unit #1 and sub-unit #2 is not straight, but rather angular, the individual seams will have to be handled separately, i.e. Pin and sew separately for each individual seam.

5. First pin and sew ONLY the seam between A and DWhen pinning, make sure the intersection points on sub-unit #1 match the intersection points on sub-unit #2 when pinning A to D. Sew A and D together up to the intersection point at the end of the seam. Backstitch.

6. Then re-adjust, pin and sew ONLY the seam between F and E, as outlined in the step above. Backstitch.

7. Repeat process to make a total of two gold/green/purple quadrants and two gold/purple quadrants.

8. Arrange and sew together all four quadrants to complete one block, see below. Repeat to make four blocks total

9. Repeat the process to construct the remainingblocks below.

3. Sew the rows of blocks and sashing together asshown below.

4. Sew the two halves together with the center sashing strip as shown below:

5. Trim around the quilt center to include ¼" seam allow-ance. Due to the on-point setting, the quilt center should measure approximately 29 ¾” square.

Note: It is advisable to measure the length of the quilt center before cutting the subsequent border pieces.

Quilt Top Assembly:

Press all seams towards the border strip after it is sewn on

1. Inner border #1. Sew two 1" x 30 ¼" purple tone-on-tone mask print strips to the opposite sides of the quilt center. Sew two 1" x 31 ¼" purple tone-on-tone mask print strips to the remaining sides.
