Press one set of blocks with seam allowances toward A and the other set of blocks with seam allowances toward B so that seams will nest when joining the blocks.

Trim each block to 5" 5" with the white strip centered diagonally. If using a square ruler for trimming, align the diagonal line down the center of the strip. Referring to the Assembly Diagram, arrange the blocks into 12 rows of 12 blocks each, alternating the direction of the seam allowances and the B strips so a trellis design is formed with the white strips. Sew the blocks together in each row. Sew the rows together to complete the quilt top. Crisscross Throw Assembly Diagram 54" 54 This is the perfect pattern for a lodge or cabin in the woods.
