PIECING THE TOP SECTION
12
Join a D CST to the top left corner of P. Join B on top. Repeat to make a second unit, with the D CST in the top right corner of P (Fig 1). Follow the instructions in the boxout above for adding CSTs to your quilt. 13
Join a D CST to both top corners of O. Join C to the top (Fig 2). Join the two units from step 12 to either side. Then join A to the left and E to the right to make the top row (Fig 3).
14
Join an H CST to the top left corner of R, then join G to the top (Fig 4). Join an H CST to both top corners of Q (Fig 5). Join an H CST to the top right of P, then join I to the top (Fig 6).
15
Join together the three completed units from step 14. Then join
F to the left and J to the right to make the centre row (Fig 7).
16
Join the top row above the centre row. Then join K to the bottom to complete the top section of the quilt (Fig 8).
PIECING THE BOTTOM LEFT SECTION
17
Join an M CST to both top corners of R. Join M to the left, then join L to the top of this section (Fig 9).
18
Join an M CST to both top corners of V. Then join a U CST to the bottom right corner (Fig 10).
19
Join an N CST to the top right corner of U (Fig 11). Join this together with the units from steps 17–18 to create the sun unit (Fig 12).
20
Join a Y CST to the bottom left corner of T. Join X to the bottom, then Z to the left side. Add an M CST to the top left corner, and a W CST to the top right corner. Then join a HH CST to the bottom right (Fig 13).
21
Join a W CST to the top left corner of GG, then join a P CST to the top righthand corner (Fig 14). Join this to the left side of the unit from step 20 above. Then add a KK CST to the bottom right corner. This now completes the mountain peak unit (Fig 15).
22
Join a P CST to the top left corner of JJ, then add an EE CST to the top right corner. Join an MM CST to the bottom left corner, then join LL to the bottom (Fig 16). Join this to the left of the mountain unit from step 21. Then join the sun unit to the top to complete the bottom left section of the quilt (Fig 17).
PIECING THE BOTTOM RIGHT SECTION
23
Join a BB CST to the bottom right corner of T, then join AA to the bottom. Join CC to the right side and S to the top. Working one at a time, add an M CST to the top right corner, an N CST to the top left corner and an FF CST to the bottom left corner (Fig 18).
24
Join DD to the bottom of the unit from the last step. Join an II CST to the bottom left corner. Then, add an NN CST, also to the bottom left corner to complete the bottom right section of the quilt as in Fig 19.
FINISHING THE QUILT TOP
25
Referring to the quilt Layout Diagram, join the bottom left and bottom right sections of the quilt, carefully matching seams. Then join the top section of the quilt to finish the quilt top.
QUILTING AND FINISHING
26
Cut the backing fabric in half across the width. Remove the selvedges and sew the two pieces together using a in seam. Press the seam open.
27
Press the quilt top and backing well. Make a quilt sandwich by placing the backing fabric right side down, the batting on top, then place the quilt top centrally and right side up. Baste the layers together using your preferred method.
28
Quilt as desired. Annie Seaboch quilted geometric lines in a repeating triangular pattern, to echo the sharp points of the mountain peaks. Trim off the excess batting and backing fabric and square up the quilt.
29
Sew the binding strips together end-to-end using diagonal seams. Press the seams open and trim away the dog ears. Fold in half lengthways, wrong sides together, and press.
30
Sew the joined binding strip to the right side of the quilt, creating a neat mitre at each corner. Fold the binding over to the back of the quilt and secure temporarily with pins or binding clips. Hand stitch or machine stitch in place around the edge to finish.
