How the blocks are constructed
The pattern makes 12 blocks using strip piecing, triangle-square units, corner units, and a square-in-a-square center. Follow its cutting and assembly instructions, using ¼-inch seam allowances. After assembling the blocks, arrange them in four rows with alternating blocks rotated 90 degrees, then sew on the borders.

Quilting and binding
Layer the quilt top, batting, and backing, then baste the layers together. Quilt as desired and finish by binding the quilt with the teal floral strips. The pattern page credits Handi Quilter Studio Educator Kim Sandberg with using a Pro-Stitcher and digital designs from Quiltable’s Mod Petals and Free-Motion Background Mixers collections for the illustrated machine quilting; these are an example, not requirements.
