Assemble:

- (8) 18-1/2″ Secret Block
Sew your blocks in (4) rows of (4) each, as shown below. Press to the right.
Reversing the direction of every other row, sew these rows into a quilt top. Because of the way you have pressed your seams, they should just touch each other at the block intersections. Use pins to encourage this behavior. Press from the back so you can fix any twisted seams. Your quilt top should measure
72-1/2″ × 72-1/2″.
You are almost done! But there are still secrets to be told – watch for the reveal NEXT WEEK!!!!!
