Quilt will measure 49 x 91 inches - twin size. Solid block (1) cut two 4 1/2 inch squares of same color fabric. With right sides facing, allowing 1/2 inch for seam all around, sew squares together around 3 sides. Turn right side out. Cut 2 pieces of batting each 5 1/2 inch square, lay one on top of other and insert into block, having extra fullness at center. Turn in 1/2 inch seam allowance on 4th side and whipstitch. Make 166 blocks of main color, 45 blocks of 2nd color or print, 47 blocks of 3rd color or print, 49 blocks of 4th color. Decide what pattern to arrange your puff into and whipstitch all the blocks together. You may put a border around the quilt or pillow. If you want to make some blocks 2 color, cut the squares 5 1/2 inches and cut these in half diagonally from one corner to opposite corner forming a triangle. Allow 1/2 inch for seam and put two triangles of different colors together to form a square complete block same as solid block.
