Sew the squares into seven rows with six
squares in each row. Alternate the blue

To create the half square triangles, draw a
diagonal line on the back of all of the 5 inch orange squares.
Place the squares, right sides together with the blue 5 inch squares. Sew one quarter inch on each side of the line. Cut on the line. Square the blocks to 4 ½ inches.
Sew 2 rows of 12 blocks together for the top and bottom of the quilt.
Sew a 1 ½ x 4 ½ inch rectangle to each end of the two rows. Sew to the top and bottom of the quilt with the blue on the outside. Be careful to align the half square triangles with the blocks in the quilt. (Two triangles should align perfectly with the width of a block.)
