Assemble Blocks
1. Referring to Diagram 1, sew together two black stripe 2-1⁄2×42" strips and one light green plaid 4-1⁄2×42" strip to make Strip Set A. Press seams toward black stripe. Repeat to make eight A strip sets total. Cut strip sets into eighty-eight 3-1⁄2"-wide A segments.
2. Referring to Diagram 2, join two light green plaid 2-1⁄2×42" strips and one purple plaid 4-1⁄2×42" strip to make Strip Set B. Press seams toward purple plaid. Repeat to make four B strip sets total. Cut strip sets into twenty-two 6-1⁄2"-wide B segments.
3. Using green print 4-1⁄2×42" strips instead of purple plaid strips and referring to Diagram 3, repeat Step 2 to make four C strip sets total. Cut strip sets into twenty-two 6-1⁄2"-wide C segments.
4. Referring to Diagram 4, sew together two A segments and one B segment to make Block A. Press seams in one direction. Block A should be 8-1⁄2×12 -1⁄2" including seam allowances. Repeat to make 22 A blocks total.
5. Referring to Diagram 5, join two A segments and one C segment to make Block B. Press seams in one direction. Block B should be 8-1⁄2×12-1⁄2" including seam allowances. Repeat to make 22 B blocks total.
