INSTRUCTIONS

1. From 1 color strip, cut (3) 6.5” pieces and (1) 16” piece. From 1 white strip, cut (2) 16” pieces.

2. Using your (2) 16” white pieces and (1) 16” color piece, sew strips

together white-color-white.

Baby, make 16.

Throw, make 48.

Queen, make 75.

King, make 108.

3. Cut each 16” 3-strip segment into (6) 2.5” pieces.

4. Using (2) segments from Step 3 and (1) 6.5” color strip, create

your cross block.

You’ll get 3 blocks of each color strip!

5. Finish your top by sewing together blocks in rows, and then sewing the rows together. Complete by adding a 1-strip white

border all around (see below for individual size layouts). Lay out your blocks before assembling your top to make sure you like the

color/pattern distribution around your quilt top. Taking a picture really helps with this! :D
