Before we continue the quilt along with Block B and assembly, there were two mistakes in the original cutting pdf on the post last Sunday. The corrected pdf is now linked. If you downloaded the cutting instructions, be sure your version has REV2 in the title, otherwise download the revised version HERE. Also, there are not very many comments on the previous post with the Quilter’s Dream giveaway, so if you missed that one, go comment. The winner will be drawn tomorrow.
Here is the block we will make today. Note that the quarter/half square triangle units are all identical. Because of this, we cut the triangles first as shown in your cutting instruction.
Stack the green and background triangles with the background on top, the hypotenuse side on the lower left, and the top edge horizontal. Chain sew on the right shorter edge.
Sew the triangle units to the brown larger triangles on the hypotenuse side using the same idea, each one the same.
Place these units around the center square, with all the brown units toward the center, and all the green units on the same edge going around the block. Add the background squares to the corners. Begin the block assembly by sewing the rows.
Press the top and bottom towards the inside, and the center row to the outside. This will allow them to next with the lattice block. Sew in rows. Here’s the pdf for this block – Fall Fortnight Block B.
Arrange the blocks with three rows of lattice blocks on point, with the star blocks between. Add the setting triangles of background fabric.
Sew in rows diagonally.
When attaching the setting triangles, sew with the patchwork on top so the seams lay flat in the direction they were pressed.
The setting triangles are cut just a bit oversize to allow plenty of fabric at the points for seams.
This gives you a generous quarter inch for the border seam preserving the points. I cut these points off straight before continuing with the assembly.
Complete the assembly and add the border.
Quilt using your favorite method. For me, I use a longarm. But you can easily quilt on your domestic machine with this size.
I used a pantograph with pumpkins and leaves.
I did the final binding in the same dark green print as in the lattice block.
And there you are! As a reminder, I am reading all your comments, although due to the volume of them, I cannot respond to every one. Thanks for understanding.

I love it! That turned out so well. I also love the fall colors you used. The Dainty Daisy fabric would look really nice in it.
That’s coming along beautifully!
Thanks for clear instructions, and correction.
Definitely the Cat-o-lantern!
Will you have a condensed PDF of today’s step?
Oops! Sorry, I forgot to put that in the post. Here is a link to the pdf for Fall Fortnight Block B. The assembly is on the blog and does not have a pdf.
Notions at 30% off – a great time to restocks needles, fusible web, etc.
I’m working on a baby quilt for a little girl and the Dainty Daisy fabric line especially the soft colors would be great in it!
Pretty project, love your quilting too. At FQS I love the Quail Run bundle by Kansas Troubles!
I like the basics special. Seems I always need them.
Thank you for the quilt pattern. I like how the stars seem to rotate.
Dritz Notions would be my pick! I can always use pins & marking pens. Thank you & your sponsors!
I love the monthly pattern specials. I’m with Margaret, I think the cat-o’lantern is so cute! Toothless terrors is also very cute, reminds me of baby teeth. Thank you for the chance to win.
Wow, this is a great quilt to make right now!! I love your fabrics and design…all of it! Thank you for the FQS drawing and I say the Copper Kettle Pattern Leaf Pile in person at a quilt store and it’s gorgeous! Now is a great time to purchase that!! Have a lovely day!!
I think the Pumpkin Patch Ghosts pattern looks fun to make. thanks for the giveaway
What a lovely quilt! I love the panto you chose as well. Happy Autumn!
This is such a great design! I always love a chain in a quilt. I do love the Robin Pickens Dotty Thatched Half Yard Bundle.
The quilt is spot on for fall. I gravitate to those colors often. Notions seem to be always in need,so, I would choose the 28mm rotary cutter for a UFO paper piecing project and pins. Thank you, Carole, for generously sharing the pattern.

Leaf pile or pumpkin patches pattern are super cute!
I like the dainty daisy by Riley Blake in the Monthly Specials Basic of the month.
The pattern turned out very cute. I love doing on point projects, as it adds an extra layer of drama to the pattern.
Probably the basics special and I like the books too.
Love this quilt pattern and the xolors/fabrics you chose. Happy fall y’all!
I am always in need of low-volume fabric so my favorite is the Dainty Daisy fat quarter or half-yard bundle. Cindy
Hi Carole, I love stars so I will definitely be making this quilt! I
Great sales today
I love this design, Carole! I’ve made two of the lattice blocks so far, and ready to try a star. At the Fat Quarter Shop, I’m really interested in that Dainty Daisy fat quarter bundle!
Love the colors of Fat Quarter Shop’s Dainty Daisy fat quarter bundle. I’m excited to start this year’s quilt, too. Autumn Jubilee is hanging on the wall now, setting the tone for a pretty fall season. Thank you for the lovely patterns!
I always appreciate slightly oversized setting and corner triangles. What a delightful quilt!
I love the Dainty Dots collection. A favorite of mine are random dots on fabric in different colors.
My ironing board is really looking pretty sad so I think my favorite is the floral ironing board cover in the Notions Section.
I have been looking at books – like the Quilting in Europe by GE designs on sale!
This is a great pattern, I have a Halloween garden type fabric that will make great center squares.
As for the Fat Quarter Shop, the Patterns of the month are my favorites. Just so many great ideas and so much inspiration as you flip through them.
Carole, this project is great. I like both blocks and your colors really suit the design. I like the Dainty Daisy Waterfall 108″ width fabric. I tend to use blue a lot, and I dislike piecing my backing. Thanks to you and fat quarter shop for a fun giveaway. Niki. Kylesma at att dot net
It’s a toss-up for me. I would choose the backgrounds of the Dainty Daisy fabric bundle, but then the Cheery Colorway FQ bundle in the precut section looks good too. Thanks for the chance to win the gift certificate.
I love the Dainty Daisy basics! There are so many colors and what a great basic to have as a part of a stash.
The Pumpkin Cottage quilt pattern is such a cute variation for an autumn project. Love it!
Basic of the Month appeals to me. I need to replenish my stash.
Your background fabric is so pretty. I love the way the lattice squares change direction around the center of stars. It’s a very effective design for this number of blocks. I hope people go back and check out Quilters Dream. I think their battings are the best brand on the market.
The thing that appeals to me this month is the Cat O Lantern pattern. Great for a pillow! The table topper is super cute!
I like the Pumpkins and Potions fat quarter bundle–cute Halloween !!
I’d probably look at the Dritz Notions!
I like the Rainbow Dainty Daisy Fat Quarter Bundle so I can look at each fabric, but the lilac really jumped out at me. I love small prints. Thanks for the pattern Carole. Really look8ng at those placemats from yesterday. I’ve got fabric that will be perfect. Now, to find the time.
I love the pumpkins and potions fat quarter bundle by Kimberbell for Mayeood Studios. It looks like a fun group of fabrics. Thank you for the giveaway!
I like the rainbow Dainty Daisy fat quarter bundle. Thanks for a chance to win.
Carole,
I like your technique for the setting triangles!
Looking forward to your next post!

30 % off Dritz notions is the most appealing to me. There are several I could use.
Thanks for sharing.
Precuts of the week “Canton Quilting Circle” 10” squares. Your quilt is beautiful and I love the pattern!
Ooh the cross stitch specials for the month – Miss Pittypat pumpkin is on my wish list.
I like the fabric of the month deals.
The blender of the month Dainty Daisy is very appealing. Love the combination of stars and squares in your quilt design.
Jingle Bell FQ bundle by Laundry Basket Quilts.
What a pretty quilt!
That quilt as well as the quilting are beautiful! I love the Rainbow Dainty Daisy fat quarter bundle atFQS.
Hi Carole,
I just wanted to share my quilt top with you. It’s not in fall colors nor is it laid out on point. I used fabric which was on the free table at my Monday sewing group. It was called a setting kit sold by Joanns which provided precut fabric for sashing and cornerstones designed for a 12 block quilt top which also came in precut packages. The widths of the fabrics were 5 1/2″ which worked well with your block patterns. I’m including a photo.
On another note, I wanted to let you know that I read “A December to Remember” book you reviewed. It was a pleasant read and I looked up other books written by Jenny Bayliss and I am in the process of reading them. I am enjoying them.
I don’t remember if you have mentioned “The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion”. I am been enjoying reading about Emma and her activities. There are eight volumes so far, each covers a two month period. Volume 9 is due out next February. Author Beth Brower puts out a monthly newsletter as well which is fun to read.
Thanks for sending out your blog missives. I enjoy reading them and I’m impressed that you have so many hobbys. Sewing and cross stitching are mine.
