6 ½” x 12 ½” background fabric rectangle at each end (see assembly diagram below).

9. Sew the five columns together as shown in the assembly diagram.

10. Sash the sides of the quilt top with the 3 ½” x 60 ½” background fabric strips and then the top

and bottom with the 3 ½” x 66 ½” background fabric strips to finish the quilt top.

Finishing the quilt

1. Sew the two pieces of backing fabric together along the long sides using a ½” seam.

Press that seam open.

2. Sew the binding strips end to end using diagonal or straight seams as preferred and press

wrong sides together along the length to make a double fold binding.

3. Make a quilt sandwich, basting together the quilt back, the wadding and the quilt top.

4. Quilt as desired then trim the quilt square, removing excess wadding and backing. We quilted

horizontal lines 1” apart using a cream Aurifil 40wt thread on the front and back.

5. Bind the quilt taking care to mitre the corners.
