Sew blocks 4, 5, 6 and 7 together as shown below.

 

Now, because we sewed four blocks together before we QAYGed, we need to sew four blocks together for the backing to maintain the patchwork look. Optional though. If you want to just use one piece of fabric for the back that’s fine too.

I pieced some fabric together in a similar pattern to the front. See below:

Then I sandwiched the joined blocks and backing with some batting and hand quilted the blocks. Then I joined this section to section one using the technique shown in the earlier posts.

Here’s the bottom half of the quilt finished. What do you think?
