About the Blocks and Using the Tube Technique
This quilt is one simple block of different fabric arrangements. Each block has a
large square with half-square triangle units on two sides as pictured to the right.
To make the half-square triangle units, we will use the tube technique. Here are the general
directions. Later instructions will tell you which fabrics to sew together.
Place two fabrics right sides together and sew a ¼" seam
on the top and bottom of the long sides to make a tube.
Next, place the 3 ½" horizontal measurement on the top
stitching line. Again cut out a triangle that opens to a
square, cut off the dog ears, and press to the darker
fabric.
(The shaded graphic indicates the wrong side of the fabric.)
Strip Tube
Strip Tube
Then place the 3 ½" horizontal measurement of your
Strip Tube RulerTM* on the bottom stitching line and
cut up one diagonal side and down the other to get a
triangle that opens to a square that measures 3 ½". Trim
off any dog ears and press to the darker fabric.
Continue down the tube to get at least 12 squares
per tube.

Putting It All Together
Using the layout diagram on the next page, arrange your blocks as pictured. Once you have your
arrangement, sew your blocks together by rows. Press the seams of the first row to the left, then the next
one to the right, etc. Then sew your rows together.
Cut and add your Borders as follows:
From your Border 1 fabric, cut 7— 2" strips. Attach to your quilt and press seams out.
Because your Border 2 fabric is directional, cut as follows:
First, for the vertical borders, cut 2 — 5 ½" strip from the length of your
fabric (parallel to the selvage).
Then, for the horizontal borders, cut 5 ½" strips from the remaining
width of fabric. You should need about 6 or 7— 5 ½" strips.
Attach to your quilt and press seams out.
Cut your binding fabric into 8— 2 ½" strips.
