Construction

1. From the 2½" dark strips cut 128 2½" squares and reserve for part 2.

2. From the 2½" light strips cut 64 x 2½" squares and reserve for part 3.


3. With the right sides together sew the remaining light and dark 2½" strips together to make strip pieced units of 2 strips each.
4. Press seam allowance towards the darker fabric.


5. Cross-cut each strip pieced unit at 2½" intervals to make 2½" x 4½" rectangles. You will need 200 rectangles..
6. Sew two of the resulting rectangles together to make a four-patch unit. Make 100 four-patch units which should each measure 4½" square.

Alternative Colour Schemes For those wishing to make a more colour coordinated quilt, there are a number of alternatives. Use bright tone on tones instead of the dark and medium scraps (using different colours for the darks and mediums) and replace the light background with a dark background (eg black or navy solid or tone on tone). Use only one fabric for the background Use several fabrics in one or two colours for the dark fabric and several fabrics in one or two colours for the light fabric.
