 Assembly

Step 3

As shown in the partial quilt assembly, add black E patches on the sides of the blocks and assemble the blocks into rows.

Beginning with the first diagonal row, join 3 D's with 2 E's to form a sashing row, and sew to the top of the first row of blocks. Add the large gray F patches to either end of the row. Trim the F's even with the block row. Continue in a like manner with the assembly of the sashing rows with the rows of blocks. Once the last row is assembled, add a sashing row to the bottom of the last row. Stitch the rows together.

Stitch 4 pairs of F patches together, and add to the the corners of the quilt, matching the center seam of the F patches with the center of each sashing row.

Step 4

To make the assembly easier, we had you cut oversized F patches. Once the quilt is assembled, trim off the excess, leaving a 1/4" seam allowance.

Step 5

Add the black borders to the quilt, starting and stopping stitching 1/4" from the ends. Miter the corners and trim the excess.

Step 6

Layer the quilt lining, batting, and top. Baste. Quilt as desired or as Laura did, with a traditional sashiko design that resembles a herringbone pattern. Bind the quilt to finish.
