1.    Referring to Diagram 1, lay out three navy blue batik 2" squares, a teal-and-brown batik 2" square and 2×3-1⁄2" rectangle, and a cream batik 2" square and 2×3-1⁄2" rectangle in three rows. Sew together pieces in each row. Press seams toward navy blue batik squares.

2.    Join rows to make a corner unit. Press seams toward center row. The corner unit should be 5" square including seam allowances.

3.    Repeat steps 1 and 2 to make 12 corner units total.

4.    Sew together a teal-and-brown batik 2×3-1⁄2" rectangle and a cream batik 3-1⁄2" square to make an A side unit (Diagram 2). Press seam toward rectangle. The A side unit should be 5×3-1⁄2" including seam allowances. Repeat to make a second A side unit.

5.    Join cream batik 3-1⁄2" squares to short edges of teal-and-brown batik 3-1⁄2 ×6-1⁄2" rectangle to make an A center unit (Diagram 3). Press seams toward rectangle. The A center unit should be 3-1⁄2 ×12-1⁄2" including seam allowances.

6.    Referring to Diagram 4 for placement, lay out four corner units and the side and center units in three rows. Sew together pieces in outer rows. Press seams open. Join rows to make Block 1A; press seams open. Block 1A should be 12-1⁄2" square including seam allowances.

7.    Using teal-and-brown batik 3-1⁄2" squares and cream batik 2×3-1⁄2" and 3-1⁄2 ×6-1⁄2" rectangles, repeat steps 4 and 5 to make four B side and two B center units (Diagram 5). Using B side and center units and the remaining corner units (rotating them as shown so cream print corners point out), repeat Step 6 to make two of Block 1B.

1.    Referring to Diagram 6 and Assemble 1A and 1B Blocks, use teal and olive green batik pieces to make:

• 28 corner units
•  6 A side units
• 3 A center units
• 8 B side units
• 4 B center units

2.    Referring to Diagram 6 and Assemble 1A and 1B Blocks, use Step 1 units to make:

• 3 of Block 2A
• 4 of Block 2B

3.    Referring to Diagram 7 and Assemble 1A and 1B Blocks, use yellow-green and gold batik pieces to make:

• 40 corner units
• 10 A side units
• 5 A center units
• 10 B side units
• 5 B center units

4.    Referring to Diagram 7 and Assemble 1A and 1B Blocks, use Step 3 units to make:

• 5 of Block 3A
• 5 of Block 3B

5.    Referring to Diagram 8 and Assemble 1A and 1B Blocks, use mint green and copper batik pieces to make:

• 36 corner units
• 10 A side units
• 5 A center units
• 8 B side units
• 4 B center units

6.    Referring to Diagram 8 and Assemble 1A and 1B Blocks, use Step 5 units to make:

• 5 of Block 4A
• 4 of Block 4B

7.    Referring to Diagram 9 and Assemble 1A and 1B Blocks, use blue-and-yellow and navy-and-copper batik pieces to make:

• 24 corner units
• 8 A side units
• 4 A center units
• 4 B side units
• 2 B center units

8.    Referring to Diagram 9 and Assemble 1A and 1B Blocks, use Step 7 units to make:

• 4 of Block 5A
• 2 of Block 5B

1.    Referring to Quilt Assembly Diagram, sew together blocks in seven horizontal rows. Press seams in one direction, alternating direction with each row.

2.    Join rows to make quilt top. Press seams in one direction.

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

2.    Quilt as desired. Using variegated thread, designer Cheryl Malkowski machine-quilted an allover feather design across the quilt top (Quilting Diagram).

3.    Bind with navy blue batik binding strips.
