Assemble Quilt Top

1. Referring to Quilt Assembly Diagram, lay out blocks in a horizontal row. Join blocks to make quilt center. Press seams in one direction. The quilt center should be 27-1/2x9-1/2" including seam allowances.

2. Join green-and-white diagonal check long inner border strips to long edges of quilt center. Sew green-and-white diagonal check short inner border strips to remaining edges. Press seams toward inner border.

3. Aligning long edges, sew together multicolor stripe long middle border strips to red-and-white print long outer border strips to make a long pieced border strip. Press seams toward outer border strip. Repeat to make a second long pieced border strip. Join long pieced border strips to long edges of quilt center. Press seams toward pieced border. 

4. In same manner, join short middle and outer border strips to make a short pieced border strip. Repeat to make a second short pieced border strip. Sew a novelty print 4-1/2" square to each end of the pieced strips. Press seams toward squares. Join pieced strips to remaining edges of quilt center to complete quilt top.
