2. Sew the blocks together: Sew the squares together in rows, alternating the colors and patterns. Press the seams open after each row is sewn.
3. Join the rows together: Sew the rows together to form the quilt top. Press the seams open after each row is sewn.
4. Quilt the layers together: Place the quilt top on a flat surface. Layer the quilt batting over the quilt top, and then cover the batting with the backing fabric. Pin the layers together, and then quilt the layers together using your preferred method (hand quilting, machine quilting, or tying).
5. Bind the quilt: Cut strips of fabric 2.5 inches wide and sew them together to create a binding. Attach the binding to the edge of the quilt, and then fold the binding over to the back of the quilt and stitch it in place.
