From black spiderweb print (fabric 5), cut:

• 26—2-1/2" squares

From gray moon print (fabric 6), cut:

• 7—4-1/8" squares, cutting each diagonally twice in an X for 28 setting triangles total (you'll have two leftover)
• 2—2-3/8" squares, cutting each in half for 4 corner triangles total

From solid black, cut:

• 3—2-1/2×42" binding strips

Measurements include 1/4" seam allowances. Sew with right sides together unless otherwise stated.

Use a design wall to lay out your 2-1/2" squares in rows.

1. Referring to Diagram 1, lay out fabric 1 squares on point in a vertical row. Arrange fabric 2 squares around fabric 1 row. Repeat with remaining squares in the order indicated in Diagram 1 until all squares are placed.

2. Referring to Diagram 2, sew together squares in 14 diagonal rows. Join gray moon print (fabric 6) setting triangles and top right-hand and bottom left-hand corner triangles to ends of rows. Press seams in one direction, alternating direction with each row.

3. Join rows; press seams in one direction. Add remaining gray moon print corner triangles to complete quilt top. Press seams toward corner triangles.

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

2. Quilt as desired. Quilt tester Diane Tomlinson machine-quilted a stipple design in the white spiderweb print squares and stitched-in-the-ditch between each round of fabric.

3. Bind with solid black binding strips.
