Quilting Glossary:
RST = Right sides together
RSU = Right sides up
WOF = Width of fabric

Making the Setting Blocks
(Half Square)
Place an 11” tan square on top of a red square RST. Mark a diagonal
line from one corner to the opposite corner on a tan square. Stitch ¼” on
both sides of the diagonal line. Cut square apart on the diagonal line. Press
seam towards red side. Make a total of (8) blocks. Trim down to 10 ½” x
10 ½”. (Buckeye Beauty Block)
Stitch a 3” red and a 3” tan strip RST on long side of the
strips. (Make 3)
Press toward red. Cut one strip set in half. Place one half of the strip
set RST with the opposite half making sure the two colors are opposite
one another.
Repeat this step with the other two strip sets; sub-cut the layered strip
set into (16) 3” segments. Sew all (16) sets to create (16) 4-patch
units, making sure to match all intersections.
Place a 5 7/8” blue square and a 5 7/8” tan square RST. Mark
a diagonal line from one corner to the opposite corner of the tan square.
Stitch ¼” on both sides of the diagonal line. Cut square apart
on diagonal line. Press seams toward blue side. Make a total of (8) blocks.
Following the block diagram, stitch the first two units together, one 4-patch
to one 5 ½” tan square. (Make 8 pairs)
Press seam allowances towards tan squares. For next step, stitch blue/tan
block to 4-patch. (Make 8 pairs)
Press seam allowances toward half square. Combine both units together,
alternating and matching intersections. (Make 8 blocks)
Assembling the Quilt Top
With RST and raw edges matched, stitch the blocks in each row. Follow the
quilt diagram layout to determine block placement in each row. Press seams
in opposite directions for each row. Pin rows together, pinning at all
intersections. Stitch the rows together to complete quilt center.
Stitch (2) tan strips together, end to end, to get the length needed for
each inner border portion, top, bottom and both sides prior to attaching
to quilt. (Make 4) Sew pieced inner border (tan) to top and bottom of pieced
quilt center. Press seam toward border. Trim off excess length. Sew pieced
inner border (tan) to both sides of pieced quilt center. Press seams toward
border. Trim off excess length. Sew middle border (red check) to both sides
of inner border first. Press seams toward border. Trim off excess length.
Then sew to top and bottom of inner border. Press seam toward border. Trim
off excess length. Repeat with blue fabric for outer border, sewing to the
sides first. Finishing
