Step 2: Sew Quilt Front and Trim
a. Sew quilt pieces together into sections as shown on
diagram 2, starting with section A. Continue by
sewing the pieces in section B together.
b. Sew sections A and B together as shown.
c. Sew the pieces in section C together. Sew section C to
sections A and B.
d. Sew the 39” x 1.5” strips of fabric along each side of the
quilt front as shown in diagram 3. (Don’t worry about
mitering the corners because you will be cutting the
quilt to form a square later on.)
e. Sew the 37” x 2.5” strips of fabric along each side of
the quilt front.
f. Sew the 33” x 5.5” strips of fabric along each side of
the quilt front.
g. Sew the triangle pieces onto each corner of the quilt
front.
h. Trim the edges of the quilt front to form a perfect
square, as shown in the picture.
Step 3: Layer the Backing, Batting
and Pieced Front
a. Lay the back piece of the quilt on a flat surface and
cut a piece of batting to match size.
b. Lay the pieced top of the quilt over the batting and
secure all three pieces together with large safety pins
every few inches.

Hint: Mark your quilting lines with a fabric marker before
sewing to get straight lines.
a. Begin in the center of the quilt front and sew a pattern
of radiating squares out to the edges of the quilt,
spacing the lines about 1” apart.

a. To join the binding strips into one continuous piece, lay
the strips perpendicular to each other with the RIGHT
sides together. Stitch across the diagonal edges of the
strips with a 1/2” seam. Then, trim the seam allowance
to 1/4” and press the seam open. Trim any small tails of
fabric at the seam of the binding. Repeat until you have
joined all of the strips into one long piece.

a. Trim off any excess batting and backing fabric so all
the edges are clean.
b. Fold the starting end of your binding at a 45º angle
and press. Then, fold the entire length of binding in half
(to 1.25“ tall) and press. Starting in the middle of one of
your quilt sides, place binding along edge. Make sure
that the raw edges of the binding (not the fold) are
aligned with the raw edge of the quilt top.
c. Starting about 8-10” from the folded end of your binding
and sewing through all layers (two layers of binding,
quilt top, batting, and quilt back), attach binding.
d. Stop stitching 1/4“ from corner and backstitch.
Remove the quilt from your machine.
e. Fold the binding back on itself, perpendicular to the

seam you just stitched.
f. Fold the binding again. This time, align the fold in the
binding with the raw edges of the seam you just sewed
and align the raw edges of the unstitched binding with
the next edge of the quilt. Starting at the edge of the
quilt, stitch the binding to the next side of the quilt.
g. Repeat: Repeat Steps E, F & G with each corner of
your quilt.
h. When you get within 8” of the starting point, lay the
binding flat at the edge of the quilt and lay the end
of the binding on top of the diagonal fold of the starting
edge. Cut any excess binding to within 1/2” of the
starting fold. Pin in place and stitch binding pieces
together along the diagonal edge away from quilt.
i. Refold the remaining binding and realign the two raw
edges with the edge of the quilt top. Stitch in place.
j. Fold the binding over the raw edges of the quilt and
hand-stitch the binding fold to the quilt back, just
beyond the stitching line. Tuck each corner into a pretty
miter as you go.
