sewing Blocks together.

Make four of these Small Blocks and sew together to form a Large
Block. The Cluster Corners form the center design of Large Block,
while the Filet Corners form the corners. Tack the other corners of
Small Blocks together by the p at tip of ends of Oval.

Make 80 Large Blocks.

On tissue paper, draw a true square about an inch larger than
finished Block. Stretch and pin Block right-side-down on this pattern
on a padded ironing board and steam with a wet cloth and hot iron,
then press through a dry cloth until perfectly dry. A Spread pressed in
this way will keep its shape and flatness indefinitely.

BORDER-With Yellow, (ch 3, 3 dc in 1st st, ch 2, 1 sl st in same
1st st) 4 times, 1 sl st at base of 1st petal, ch 3, remove hook. Let this
3-ch lie up back of 1st petal, insert hook in 2d dc of 1st petal, catch
loop and pull through. * Ch 7, 3 dc in 3d st from hook, ch 2, 1 sl st in
same st, (ch 3, 3 dc in 1st st of 3-ch, ch 2, 1 sl st in same st) twice, sk
last 3 petals, 1 sl st in next ch st connecting Flowers, ch 2, 1 dc in
same st, sk 2 sts of connecting ch between Flowers, 1 sl st in next.
Now pass previous Flower over working thread, and make 1 dc in
same st with last dc. This dc will be on left side of connecting ch. Ch
2, 1 sl st in same st with dc, ch 6, remove hook. Let this ch lie across
back of Flower to opposite side. Insert hook in top of 2d petal, catch
loop and pull through, which brings thread in proper place to continue
work. Repeat from * until a length of Flowers long enough to go
across 1 side of Spread is made, allowing exactly 15 Flowers across
each Block. Now make another Flower. After 4th Petal, ch 5, remove
hook, insert in top of next-to-last petal, catch loop and pull through.
This forms corner Flower. Repeat from * around Spread, joining end
Flowers.

Heading Row Around Inside of Border-Join Cream to side petal
of 1 Flower, * (ch 8, 1 sc in side petal of next Flower) repeated to
Flower next corner Flower. Ch 2, 1 tr between petals of corner
Flower, ch 2, 1 sc in side petal of next Flower. Repeat from * around
Spread. Fasten off.

Edge-Repeat last row on opposite side of Flower Row, except at
corners make 8-ch, 1 sc in 1 st petal of corner Flower, ch 11, 1 sc in
next petal, ch 8, 1 sc in next Flower. Fasten off.

2nd Row-Join Cream to sc in 1st Flower preceding 1 corner Flower,
ch 1, ** 4 sc over next 8-ch, (ch 5, 1 sc in 1st st of 5-ch to form a p) 4
times, 1 sl st at base of 3d p from hook, ch 5, 1 sc in 1st st for a p, 1
sl st at base of next p, 4 sc over balance of 8-ch, 1 sc in next sc, 4 sc
over corner 11-ch, (ch 5, 1 sc in 1st st for a p) 6 times, 1 sl st at base

of 3d p from hook, (ch 5, 1 sc in 1st st for a p, 1 sl st at base of next
p) 3 times, 3 sc over 11-ch. Now make another p-loop just like last
one. Then 4 sc over balance of 11-ch, 1 sc in sc, * 4 sc over next 8-
ch. Now make a p-loop with 2 ps up each side and 1 at tip. 4 sc over
balance of 8-ch, 1 sc in sc, 4 sc over next 8-ch. Make a p-loop with 4
ps up each side and 1 at tip. 4 sc over balance of 8-ch, 1 sc in sc, (4
sc over next 8-ch. Make a p-loop with 6 ps up each side and 1 at tip,
4 sc over balance of 8-ch, 1 sc in sc) twice, 4 sc over next 8-ch. Make
a p-loop with 4 ps up each side and 1 at tip, 4 sc over balance of 8-
ch, I sc in sc. Repeat from * across to corner. Repeat from ** around
Spread. Fasten off.

3rd Row-Join to tip of 1st p-loop of last row, * ch 11, 1 sc in tip of
next p-loop, ch 1 3, 1 sc in tip of next, ch 11, 1 sc in tip of next, (ch 9,
I sc in next loop) repeated to next corner. Repeat from * around
Spread.

4th Row-* (6 sc, a 4-ch p, and 6 sc) over next 11-ch, 1 sc in sc, (7
sc, p, 7 sc) over corner 13-ch, 1 sc in sc, (6 sc, p, 6 sc) over next 11-
ch, 1 sc in sc, (5 sc, p, 5 sc) over each 9-ch loop to next corner.
Repeat from * around Spread. Fasten off.
Press Border and sew chs of Heading Row to edge of Blocks.
