The fabric I used is from my favorite quilt store and when I saw it I knew I just had to make a quilt out of it! When I got home I realized all the fabric was from Buggy Barn. You may remember Rose's Palindrome which is also made from Buggy Barn fabric. Hmmm ... I think I see a pattern.

| Finished Size:60" by 75" |
- 5/8 yard each of 4 different fabrics (for 4 small squares)
- 1-1/8 yard of 1 fabric (for 1 big square)
- 1/4 yard of binding fabric
- 4 yards for backing
- 64" by 79" piece of batting
- Safety Pins
- You will also need yarn of your choice and a darning needle
For small squares, cut out 15 squares from each of your four fabrics at 6-1/2".
For large squares, cut out 15 squares from your one fabric at 12-1/2".
Step 2:
Sew four of the small squares (one of each color) together to create a 12-1/2" square. Repeat until you have blocks.
Step 3:
Use the diagram below to assemble your quilt.
Step 4:
Cut and sew your 4 yards of backing fabric so you have a piece larger than 60" by 75".
Step 5:
Assemble a quilt sandwich with your top, batting and backing. Next, using safety pins begin pinning your quilt sandwich approximately every six inches.
Step 6:
Using a darning needle and your chosen yarn, begin making knots by going all the way through the quilt sandwich and back up. Put a yarn knot through each block's corners except those on the outside edge (this is where your binding will be). Remove safety pins when you're finished.
Step 7:
Cut off excess batting and backing fabric. Cut your binding fabric into (7) 1" strips and sew in a chain. Iron the strips in half lengthwise and then place fold over edge of quilt. Sew a 1/4" line down the side going through all layers of fabric. This will create a raw edged binding - adding to the quickness of this quilt!
Step 8:
Step back and enjoy! Give to friend or family member!
Hugs,
Megan
