Here is the bag of scraps that I received….

Here is the finished quilt….

I added the black fabric to frame the little squares but I’m thinking maybe it should have been navy blue instead. Hmmm.

Step 1 – Frame Small Squares

Attach 2 x 6 1/2 strips to the top and bottom of each small square section.

Press neatly.

Step 2 – Make Center Rows
Sew alternating a framed block with a 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 block. Two rows will begin with a framed block and three with a plain block.

Step 4 – Create Side Borders
Sew (10) 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 strips together to make the side border. Do this twice.

Press neatly.

Attach to the sides of the center design. Two strips equal one block so match your seams accordingly.

Press neatly.

Step 5 – Create the Top and Bottom Border
Sew (8) 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 strips together to make the top and bottom borders. Do this twice.

Sew an 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 corner block to each end of the top/bottom border strips.
