From assorted prints, cut:

• 6--2-1⁄4×21" strips
• 10--2×21" strips
• 8--1-3⁄4×21" strips
• 10--1-1⁄2×21" strips
• 2--1-1⁄4×21" strips
• 6--1×21" strips

From solid white, cut:

• 6--1×42" strips

From mottled blue print, cut:

• 2--3×42" strips
• 3--2×42" strips
• 16--3-1⁄2×7" strips

From blue zigzag print, cut:

• 2--1-1⁄2×42" strips
• 2--1-1⁄4×42" strips

From light blue dot, cut:

• 2--1-1⁄2×42" strips

From binding fabric, cut:

• 4--2-1⁄2×42" binding strips

1.    Referring to Diagram 1, sew together enough assorted print 21"-long strips to make a strip set that is at least 9-1⁄2 wide. Press seams in one direction. Trim Strip Set A to 9-1⁄2×21" including seam allowances. Repeat to make six A strip sets total.

2.    Trim off bottom left-hand corner of a Strip Set A at a 60° angle (Diagram 2). Cutting parallel to just-trimmed edge, cut strip set into three 3-1⁄2"-wide A segments. (There is little room for waste and straightening the angle, so cut carefully.) Repeat with remaining A strip sets for 16 total A segments.

3.    Referring to Diagram 3, sew together two solid white 1×42" strips and one mottled blue print 3×42" strip to make Strip Set B. Press seams toward solid white. The strip set should be 4×42" including seam allowances. Repeat to make a second Strip Set B. Repeat Step 2 to cut B strip sets into 16 total 3-1⁄2"-wide B segments.

4.    To make Strip Set C (Diagram 4), sew together strips in this order: blue zigzag print 1-1⁄2×42", light blue dot 1-1⁄2×42", solid white 1×42", and blue zigzag print 1-1⁄4×42". Press seams in one direction. Repeat to make a second Strip Set C. Using your Triangle template and referring to Diagram 4, cut 16 pieced triangles from the

C strip sets (eight with triangle bases along wider blue zigzag edge and eight with triangle bases along narrower blue zigzag edge).

1.    Referring to Diagram 5, trim off bottom right-hand corner of each mottled blue 3-1⁄2×7" strip at a 60° angle to make 16 end units.

2.    Referring to Quilt Assembly Diagram, lay out end units, A and B segments, and pieced triangles in eight vertical rows. Sew together pieces in each row, offsetting segments by 1⁄4". Press seams away from mottled blue print.

3.    Join rows to complete quilt center. Press seams in one direction. The quilt center should be 24-1⁄2×43-3⁄4", including seam allowances.

4.    Cut and piece mottled blue 2×42" strips to make:

• 2--2×43-3⁄4" border strips

5.    Sew border strips to long edges of quilt center to complete quilt top. Press seams toward border.

1.    Layer quilt top, batting, and backing; baste. Quilt as desired.

2.    Bind with binding strips.
