The instructions were poor at best, and this picture is small. After a lot of sewing and unsewing, I finally got it all figured out. The center squares are a pre-printed 2 1/2 x 2 1/2in. square.
I had a fun sewing day with my daughter! It is so much fun to watch her sewing progress. She's a natural born sewer! Thanks for the great day little girl!
It didn't lay very flat, so I decided that I needed to do an all over loose meander in hopes that it would cooperate..
I used Auriful #50. I had 3 little sunbonnet Sue squares left, so I pieced them into the back. I used a 2 in. binding instead of the usual 2 1/4in. That outside border is only 1 1/2in wide and I didn't want the binding to overwhelm the quilt. I sewed the binding down by machine.
This quilt ended up at 26 x 26. It will make a great wall hanging or a doll blanket!
