Fabric Requirements:

Fabric B: Light (White print)

4 - 2 1/2" squares - Mark

a diagonal line on the back.

2 - 2 1/2" x  4 1/2" rectangles

Layout 4 1/2" square and 2 1/2" x 4 1/2"

rectangles as shown and sew together.

Place 2 1/2" squares right sides together

with 2 1/2" x 8 1/2" rectangles as shown.

Sew on drawn line and press to the corners.

Trim back 2 layers of fabric to 1/4".

Layout units as shown and sew together,

  press seams open to reduce bulk.

And a full spool.

It would make a pretty quilt.

I like it even better with sashing.
