Step 3. Note: The setting
triangles on all edges and corners are cut slightly oversized to allow
trimming quilt edges even after assembly.
Referring to Assembly Diagram, carefully arrange and
sew 11 diagonal rows using white/blue/yellow stripe 7 1/2" quarter-square
triangles (with stripe running length of quilt), and blocks. Sew rows
together. Sew white/blue/yellow stripe 4" half-square triangles
to corners (watch stripe—see Planning). Trim edges even.
Step 4. Stitch 2 1/2" x WOF yellow texture
strips to sides; trim even with top and bottom. Sew remaining yellow
strips to top/bottom; trim even with sides. Stitch yellow/blue large
plaid 4 1/2" x 46" strips to sides; trim even. Sew remaining
