INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Place one 5-7/8" Fabric C square on top of one 5-7/8" Fabric B square, right sides together. Draw a line across the diagonal of the top square (Fig. 1). Sew 1/4" away from each side of the drawn diagonal line (Fig. 1). Cut the two squares apart on the drawn diagonal line (Fig. 2) to make two half-square triangles (Fig. 3). Repeat to make twenty-eight half-square triangles.
   
    
2. Sew one 2" x 18-1/2" Fabric B strip to each side of the 18-1/2" Fabric A square. Sew one 2" x 21-1/2" Fabric B strip to the top and bottom of the Fabric A square to make one 21-1/2" center block (Fig. 4).
   
    
3. Refer to the corner unit layout to sew together the assorted 5-1/2" fabric squares, twenty-eight half-square triangle blocks, and twelve Fabric C triangles to make four corner units (Fig. 5).
   
    
4. Starting and stopping 1/4" from the center block edges, sew one corner unit to each side of the center block to make the quilt top.
    
5. Fold the quilt top in half, wrong sides together. Starting at the 1/4" point on one center block corner (represented with the arrow), sew together two adjacent corner units, represented with the dotted lines (Fig. 6).
   
    
6. Open the quilt top and press (Fig. 7).
   
    
7. Layer, quilt, and bind as desired.
