Making the Blocks

1. Join one ecru paisley strip and one dark red

texture strip along one long edge to make a strip

set. Make four strip sets total. Crosscut the strip

sets into (18) 5 1/2" -wide segments and (18)

1 1/2" -wide segments. Repeat using the ecru

paisley and green texture strips, the ecru paisley

and orange texture strips, and then the ecru

paisley and the brown texture strips.

2. Join two matching 1 1/2" -wide segments to

make a four-patch unit. Make nine dark red/ecru

four-patch units, nine green/ecru four-patch units,

nine orange/ecru four-patch units, and nine

brown/ecru four-patch units.

3. Join one multicolor paisley square, two dark

red/ecru 5 1/2" -wide segments from step 1, and

one dark red/ecru four-patch unit, making sure

the ecru strips are next to the large square as

shown in the photo. Make nine of these blocks.

The blocks should measure 7 1/2" square.

4. In the same way, join one multicolor paisley

square, two brown/ecru 5 1/2" -wide segments

from step 1, and one brown/ecru four-patch unit

to make a block. Make nine blocks.

5. Join one red small floral square, two green/ecru

5 1/2" -wide segments from step 1, and one

green/ecru four-patch unit to make a block.

Make nine blocks.

6. Join one brown small floral square, two

orange/ecru 5 1/2" - wide segments from step 1,

and one orange/ecru four-patch unit to make

a block. Make nine blocks.

Assembling the Quilt

7. Refer to the photo for placement guidance.

Join the blocks in six rows of six blocks each,

alternating and rotating the blocks as shown in

the photo. Join the rows to complete the quilt

top center.

8. Join the remaining dark red 1 1/2" -wide strips

end to end. Measure the length of the quilt and

cut two strips to this length. Sew the strips to

opposite sides of the quilt top. Measure the

width of the quilt top and cut two strips to this

length. Sew the strips to the top and bottom of

the quilt top for the inner border.

9. Join the large floral 4 1/2" -wide outer-border

strips end to end. Measure the length of the

quilt and cut two strips to this length. Sew the

strips to the sides of the quilt top. Measure the

width of the quilt top and cut two strips to this

length. Sew the strips to the top and bottom of

the quilt top for the outer border.

10. Layer the quilt with batting and backing; baste.

Quilt as desired and bind the edges to finish.
