Cut squaresas indicated:

Sewing Directions: 1. From the 1-7/8” x 42” strips, cut the following diamonds with Diamond Template: 20 grey, 56 pink, 52 purple and 16 black.

2. Trim each of the large �oral 8-3/4” x 10-1/2” pieces with the Pentagon Template.

3. Arrange diamonds into three rows of three diamonds as shown. Stitch the diamonds into rows, then sew the rows together, matching seam allowances. Make the indicated number of each diamond unit.

4. Sew one each of the diamonds units with black together as shown. Make 4.

SET IN SEAMS are needed to add pieces that require two separate seams because a straight seam will not work. Basically, a set in seam is made by sewing one side of the piece being added (in this case a triangle) to the piece it’s being added to (diamonds). The fabric is then removed from under the sewing machine, the pieces are folded so the second side of the triangle to the other diamond unit. That second seam is sewn, then the piece is pressed �at.

5. Sew a 9-1/2” small purple quarter-square triangle between the diamond units. Make 4.

6. Sew a large �oralpentagon to thesmall �oral triangleas shown.Make 4.

Finishing:1. Sew the two lengths of backing together along selvage edges creating a two-panel wide backing. Layer the backing, batting and quilt top. Quilt or tie as desired.

3. Carefully trim backing and batting even with quilt top.

4. Leaving an 8" tail of binding, sew binding to top of quilt through all layers matching all raw edges. Miter corners. Stop approximately 12" from where you started. Lay both loose ends of binding �at along quilt edge. Where these two loose ends meet, fold them back on themselves and press to form a crease. Using this crease as your stitching line, sew the two open ends of the binding together right sides together. Trim seam to 1/4" (.64cm) and press open. Finish sewing binding to quilt.
