Summit Stitches Reveal

You should have 5 sawtooth stars. 

And 20 twenty 16 patches (and a few extra leftover 4 patches if you were speedy) 

All of these should measure 4 1/2"

 

Lay them out like this.

And sew them together like this. YAY!

Your center should measure 20 1/2" square

I am choosing to border mine like the original, (will show at the end of this post)  but you can certainly finish it however you'd like.

I'm adding a red, shirting and goldish brown border.

They are all cut 1 1/2".

RED: cut two- 20 1/2"x 1 1/2" strips

cut two 22 1/2" x1 1/2" strips

Add to opposite sides of the quilt, press and add the 22 1/2" to the other two sides. Press

SHIRTING: cut two 22 1/2" x 1 1/2" strips

cut two 24 1/2" x1 1/2" strips

Add to opposite sides, pressing before adding the other 2 sides.

BROWN: cut two 24 1/2" x 1 1/2" strips

cut two 26 1/2" x1 1/2" strips.

Add to opposite sides, pressing before adding the other 2 sides.

Press quilt .It should measure 26 1/2" square. 

Ta-Da! Admire your sweet quilt!

I picked up this little charmer in Houston 2 years ago. Blocks are old (1880-1910) but newly bordered and finished. 

The maker opted to miter the border, but I didn't see a need to. 

Isn't is adorable?!

Step by step, just like I got to the top of Mt St Helens is how you get this little quilt with little pieces done! I have the perfect backing. I'll talk about quilting in another post. 

If you made 320 four patches like Ursula, here is a lovely option! She had not seen the original and I just love her version!

Thanks for letting me share your quilt Ursula!
