Sew four of these pieced units together until you have 16 blocks. Appliqu flower petals and center onto the blocks. Join 4 of these blocks with 3 (2-1/2 x 13-1/2) ivory rectangles to create a row, as shown in Quilt Assembly diagram on the following page. Repeat to complete three more rows. 3.

Trim pieced strips to 58-1/2". Repeat to make the bottom rectangle row. 4. Alternate 10 (5") squares leftover from your ten square package with the 9 ivory (2" x 5") rectangles.
