The best way to sew this quilt block together is to treat it as you would a Nine-Patch quilt
block. Begin by sewing the FOUR (4) corner sections together. Then sew TWO (2) of the
corner sections to the left & right of the center strip. Repeat this for the remaining
TWO (2) corner sections. Next sew the center strips to the center square. Finally, sew the top &
bottom strips to the center strip!
