Cutting:

Subcut each fat quarter to:

• 2 – 4 1/2″ x 16 1/2″ rectangles
• 2 – 4 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ rectangles
• 4 – 4 1/2″ squares

Directions:

Step 1

Once all your fat quarters are pressed out, cut each into four 4 1/2″ strips on the 18″ side. Next, from those strips, cut two of them into two 4 1/2″ x 16 1/2″ rectangles, then one of those strips, cut two 4 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ rectangles. Lastly, cut the final strip into four 4 1/2″ squares. (You can also stack your fat quarters and cut multiple layers simultaneously.) Now, assemble the block. Select two 4 1/2″ squares, one 4 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ rectangle, and one 4 1/2″ x 16 1/2″ rectangle, all the same print. Next, select strips in a different print with the same measurements. Lay them out the same as in the photo below. Sew these together with a 1/4″ seam allowance to create the block.

Step 2

Once you have all your blocks sewn together, start laying out the quilt top. Just lay your blocks together and rotate every other block, 90 degrees. Once you’re done laying out the blocks, sew them together to form rows, then sew those rows together to complete your quilt top.
