Cut all borders on lengthwise grain. Especially don’t cheat the lengthwise cut on the narrow borders! They need the extra stability. Allow extra length on borders for differences in piecing. Trim to size after center is made.

Sew a 10 1/2” x 13/4” strip of each of the coordinating fabrics to each side. 3. Press all seams away from the center square.

If you want all the lattice to “weave” the same way, you will need to make 6 blocks with the red in the lower right corner and 6 blocks with the red in the upper left corner. Ifthe consistency of the “weaving” doesn’t really matter to you, make all the blocks the same and simply turn them in the direction they need to go the create the design. Sew one blue #2 6 1/2” x 1 3/8” strip to tan lattice strip 6 1/2” x 1 3/8” matching at the bottom, Sew the short side of blue #2 triangle to the tan lattice strip matching at the bottom. Sew a tan lattice strip 8 1/2” x 1 3/8” to bottom of unit. Refer to picture below. Make 24 units. eps 5. Using the same technique as above make 12 units with red #2 and tan lattice, 6. Make 12 more units with red #2 and blue #2 and tan lattice. Assembling Block B- 1. All the block B’s are assembled the same, it is only the parts that change. 2. Begin by taking a unit made in the last section and sewing a 1 3/8” square to it with a partial seam as shown on next page: wrxpmati)/A SPLASH OF RED Page 4 [ | | | | | | | | | | | ‘Sew partial searn here | LJ 3, Itis very important to line up the lattices when sewing the units together. IF you need to fudge the beginning of the seam a litle to line them up, do so. 4. Working around the center square, sew the units together in the order shown to form the block. See chart on next page for color combinations. . On the 4th unit, sew the long edge to unit 3, then sew the final seam to unit 1 and complete the partial seam. ”A SPLASH OF RED Page 5 5. Sew blocks as shown below trimming to 10 1/2” after the block is complete. When trimming, be sure to trim with the center square exactly in the middle of the block, or the lattices won't line up. MAKE 6 MAKE 6 6. Following the picture, sew blocks into tows alternating block A and block B. 7. Using your design wall is a good idea to make sure that the red “splashes” across the quilt. 8. Add the borders one at a time in numerical order doing the sides first and then adding the top and the bottom. Starch or size the narrow borders heavily to provide as much stability as possible. Watch your seam allowances very carefully as well. A litte bit in a 3” border won't show much, but will stand out like a sore thumb on a 1/2” border! 9. Create a sandwich of backing, batting, and quilt top. 10. Quilt as desired. 11, Attach the binding with a 1/4” seam, ‘Turn to the back and finish by hand. 12. Add a label. 13. Look at your quilt. Yes, there was some fancy seaming to be done, but wasn't it worth it! Enjoy!!!
