Repeat with the three remaining Step 6 and six remaining Step 7 units. Press the seam allowances toward the Step 6 units. The completed corner squares should measure 8" square.
	9) Take two of the 3-1/2" x 8" rectangles of fabric A and the last 3-1/2" square of background fabric and join together as shown to form the center row of the quilt Block. Press the seam allowance toward the 3-1/2" x 8" rectangles of fabric A. The completed row should measure 3-1/2" x 18-1/2".
	10) Take one of the 3-1/2" x 8" rectangles of fabric A and two of the corner square units completed in Step 8 and join together as shown to complete the top row of the quilt Block. Repeat with the final 3-1/2" x 8" fabric A rectangle and Step 8 unit top complete the bottom row of the quilt Block. Pres the seam allowances toward the fabric A rectangle. The top and bottom rows should measure 8" x 18-1/2".
