Cut the strips as indicated in the Cutting Directions. You will further cut Easy AngleTM triangles (for triangle squares) and squares to make the basic blocks for the quilt.

First, pair the 1 1/2" strips of fabric #1 and fabric #4, right sides together, and cut 16-1 1/2" Easy AngleTM triangles. Chain sew, press open, and trim "dog-ears."

Sew the 1" fabric #4 strips to the 1" fabric #1 strip and press seam to one side.

Use Easy Angle to cut 5-3 1/2" squares from the 3 1/2" fabric #1 strip, 4 - 11/2" squares from the 1 1/2" fabric #1 strip, and 16-1 1/2" squares from the sewn strips of fabric #1 and fabric #4.

Next, make 4 Churn Dash blocks using the triangle squares and 1 1/2 " squares from above. As you make the blocks, press seams in the directions indicated by the smaller arrows.

Then measure the blocks (they should be 3 1/2", the same size as the larger plain squares that you cut.) Cut 4 strips this length from the 1" strips of fabric #2. Lay out the blocks and sashing strips into three rows. Sew the rows together and measure the width (should be 10 1/2"). Cut two strips this length from the 1" strips of fabric #2. Place these strips between the rows and sew together as indicated.

Add an inside border using the remaining 1" strips of fabric #2. Add an outside border using the 2 1/2" strips of fabric #3.

Cut 5 each of apple, leaf, and stem from fabric #4, using the images at right for reference. The seam allowance is not included. Fuse or applique the pieces onto the center of each of the 5 plain blocks.

Layer and quilt as desired. Bind in fabric #2 using the 1 1/4" strips.
