• Fat eighths of 12 different fabrics (10 for strips, 1 for triangles, 1 for squares)
• Fat quarter for the borders and bindings
• Fat quarter for the backing
• 17" x 21" piece of batting

• From each of 10 different fabrics Cut 4: 1 1/2" x 6" rectangles
• From 1 fabric Cut 2: 7" squares in quarters diagonally to yield 8 large triangles. You will use 5.
• From 1 fabric Cut 20: 1 1/2" squares
• From the border fabric Cut (4) 17" strips
• From the binding fabric Cut 4: 1 1/4" x 18" strips

• Stitch a l 1/2" square to the short end of a l 1/2" x 6" rectangles to create a pieced strip. Do this for two of each of the 10 different fabrics.
• Join a 1 1/2" x 6" rectangle to the right side of a large triangle, maintaining the line of the triangle. The opposite short end will extend. We will trim that later.
• Join a matching fabric pieced strip to the other side of the triangle with the square at the top, forming a diamond on the tip of the triangle.
• Continue joining rectangles to the right side and matching pieced strips to the left side. Repeat until you have the 10 fabrics attached forming the braid.
• Make a second braid in the same manner and in the same fabric order.
• Trim the uneven ends off the braid by laying a ruler along the strip.
• Stitch the two trimmed braid strips together matching the fabrics and seams.
• Set-in a large triangle between the braid strips at the top of the quilt.
• Trim the quilt top and bottom to make the quilt measure approximately 14 3/4" x 15 1/2". (I trimmed the last square in half plus the 1/4" seam allowance and squared the corners of the quilt.)
• Stitch a 17" border strip to each long side of the quilt. Trim to fit.
• Stitch a 17" border strip to the remaining sides of the quilt. Trim to fit.
• Layer the quilt backing, wrong side up; batting; quilt top, right side up.
• Quilt. Bind using the 1 1/4" strips.
• Sign and date your quilt.

• Stitch the 20" strips to the remaining sides of the quilt top. Center the strip on the quilt. Start and stop stitching 1/4" from the beginning and ending of the raw edges.
