This is the week we put the Summer Treats quilt l together. If you are new to this blog, you can back track to find the four previous steps to make the quilt. They have been posted once a week. Sunbonnet Sleuth Mystery #3 will begin the first Saturday in June.

Cutting and Sewing

1. From the zig-zag stripe cut (5) 3-1/2" x wof strips, sew together end-to-end, then cut 2 side borders 3-1/2" x 60-1/2"and 2 top/bottom borders 3-1/2" x 48-1/2". Cut (4) 3-1/2" yellow mini-dot squares.

2. From the coral mini-dot cut (6) 1-1/2" x wof strips, sew together end-to-end then cut 2 side borders 1-1/2" x 66-1/2" and 2 top/bottom borders 1-1/2" x 54-1/2". Cut (7) 2-1/4"x wof strips, sew together end-to-end for binding.

3. From the large floral print cut (6) 5-1/2" x wof strips, sew together end-to-end then cut 2 side borders 5-1/2" x 68-1/2" and 2 top/bottom borders 5-1/2" x 66-1/2" borders.

4. Sew the blocks together in four rows of five blocks each, alternating the blocks as shown in the finished quilt below. Sew the rows together.

5. Join the zig-zag borders to opposite sides of the quilt top. Join the yellow mini-dot squares to each end of the top/bottom borders, then join these borders to the top and bottom of the quilt center.

6. Join the coral borders to opposite sides of the quilt top, then to the top and bottom of the quilt. Join the large floral print borders in the same manner.

7. Prepare quilt backing fabric 4" all around than the quilt top. Layer the quilt top, batting and backing. Quilt the layers together. Bind the outside edges to finish.
