Designer: Sarah Maxwell and Dolores Smith

• 1⁄2 yard green print (triangle-squares)
• 1-7⁄8 yards aqua print No. 1 (triangle-squares, squares)
• 1⁄2 yard red printNo. 1 (triangle-squares, squares)
• 7⁄8 yard aqua print No. 2 (triangle-squares)
• 1 yard red print No. 2 (triangle-squares, squares)
• 1 yard light green print  (triangle-squares)
• 1 yard white print (triangle-squares, squares)
• 3⁄8 yard red print No. 3 (triangle-squares)
• 3⁄4 yard red print No. 4 (binding)
• 5-1⁄8 yards backing fabric
• 79×91" batting

Finished quilt: 72-1⁄2×84-1⁄2"

Finished triangle-square: 6" square

Quantities are for 44⁄45"-wide, 100% cotton fabrics. Measurements include 1⁄4" seam allowances. Sew with right sides together unless otherwise stated.

Cut pieces in the following order.

From green print, cut:

• 8--6-7⁄8" squares, cutting each in half diagonally for 16 triangles total

From aqua print No. 1, cut:

• 30--6-7⁄8" squares, cutting each in half diagonally for 60 triangles total
• 20--6-1⁄2" squares

From red print No. 1, cut:

• 6--6-7⁄8" squares, cutting each in half diagonally for 12 triangles total
• 4--6-1⁄2" squares

From aqua print No. 2, cut:

• 22­--6-7⁄8" squares, cutting each in half diagonally for 44 triangles total

From red print No. 2, cut:

• 30--6-7⁄8" squares, cutting each in half diagonally for 60 triangles total

From light green print, cut:

• 26--6-7⁄8" squares, cutting each in half diagonally for 52 triangles total

From white print, cut:

• 14­--6-7⁄8" squares, cutting each in half diagonally for 28 triangles total
• 4­­--6-1⁄2" squares

From red print No. 3, cut:

• 4--6-7⁄8" squares, cutting each in half diagonally for 8 triangles total

From red print No. 4, cut:

• 9--2-1⁄2×42" binding strips

1.    Sew together a green print triangle and an aqua print No. 1 triangle to make a triangle-square (Triangle-Square Diagram). Press seam toward darker triangle. Triangle-square should be 6-1⁄2" square including seam allowances.

2.    Repeat Step 1, pairing triangles as listed below, to make the following triangle-squares:

• 16 green print triangles and 16 aqua print No. 1 triangles to make 16 green-aqua triangle-squares total
• 12 red print No. 1 triangles and 12 aqua print No. 1 triangles to make 12 red-aqua triangle-squares
• 32 aqua print No. 1 triangles and 32 red print No. 2 triangles to make 32 aqua-red triangle-squares
• 28 red print No. 2 triangles and 28 light green print triangles to make 28 red-light green triangle-squares
• 24 aqua print No. 2 triangles and 24 light green print triangles to make 24 aqua-light green triangle-squares
• 20 aqua print No. 2 triangles and 20 white print triangles to make 20 aqua-white triangle-squares
• 8 red print No. 3 triangles and 8 white print triangles to make 8 red-white triangle-squares

Referring to Quilt Assembly Diagram, lay out triangle-squares and assorted print squares in rows. Sew together pieces in each row. Press seams in one direction, alternating direction with each row. Join rows to make quilt top. Press seams in one direction.

1.    Layer quilt top, batting, and backing; baste.

2.    Quilt as desired. Machine-quilter Connie Gresham stitched an allover snowflake and loop pattern.

3.    Bind with red print No. 4 binding strips.
