Note: Measurements are given in inches, seam allowance
is ¼", and strips are cut selvedge to selvedge. Usable
fabric is assumed to be 40" wide.
• Sew all the pieces together to make the center of the
quilt, Fig. 10. It should measure 54½" x 63½".

the block construction very easy, and the block lays nice
and flat.
