Note: the borders can be cut to fit length-wise, if your block ends up a bit small, which it might with so many seams.

 

Press each step carefully.


Step One: Assemble the 1" x 1" darks and lights in a Nine-Patch fashion, as shown.
Step Two: Assemble the 1" x 2 1/4" 8 Lights and 4 darks as shown. Makes four units.

Step Three: assemble units from Step One and Step Two plus the four 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 Darks, as shown.

 
Step Four: Add Borders as shown.

To finish, center the batt and the top on the backing. You can hand quilt, machine quilt, or tie off for a vintage look.
When finished with that, fold the backing up and around to the top. Fold raw edges under, pin down, and sew the hem around.
