Sew above units together

taking care to "lock" seams

together and pin before

sewing.

Sew Fabric A/B units to

opposite sides of center

Sew other 2 Fabric A/B

units to remaining opposite

sides.  Square to 8 1/2".

Here is my first attempt.

I cut the red rectangles

too large, I shouldn't quilt

before fully awake.

Here is a quilt I made a

few years ago using the

Fort Sumter block.

I think I may have to

get this one quilted,

I quite like it.
