If you can see the red dashed lines on the draft pictures, those are the sets. Then it's a matter of sewing the sets together. That is the tricky part; when you sew one set to another, there is a need to leave a portion of the seam unsewn at the end so that you can add the next set. The edges of the quilt don't quite follow that kind of assembly, but with the main portion of the quilt assembled, that should be slightly easier to handle.


:oops: I hadn't realised that because the rectangle blocks go opposite ways in each row, the seams wouldn't be straight when joining but your 'sets of 4' approach deals with this so thank you for being smarter than me, AND for sharing your 'smarts'! :-D
