Piecing the Quilt:

- Using the quilt image as a guide, lay out the blocks three across by three down, leaving room between blocks for sashing.
- Cut twelve 1 1/2" Strips into 9 1/2" lengths for sashing strips. Sew a sashing strip on the left side of each block and on the right side of the last block in each row. Sew three blocks together to form a horizontal row. Repeat to make two more rows.
- Measure the length of each horizontal row. Add those measurements together and divide by three. Use this measurement to cut the length of the four horizontal sashing rows. Sew the sashing rows in between each block row and at the top and bottom of the quilt top. Press.

- With a 1/4" seam, sew the raw edges of the binding to the edges of the right side of the quilt. Turn the folded edge of the binding to the back side of the quilt and stitch in place by hand, mitering the corners.
