Going to America Free Quilt Pattern by Karen Witt
Going to America frames a decorative panel with five rounds of borders, including fussy-cut compass motifs and square-in-a-square blocks. Karen Witt’s intermediate-level design features the Explorations collection for Colonial Williamsburg and finishes at 54 by 46 inches. Red compass and spiral-stripe fabrics form the first pieced frame, while small scenes appear in border corners. Blue ship fabric and a blue-and-gold outer print complete the sequence around the central panel.

- Fussy-cut and center the decorative panel. Prepare the compass rectangles, scene squares and triangles for the pieced borders, retaining the designated motifs within the cuts.
- Piece the first border around the panel, then add the next border strips. Make square-in-a-square units from the fussy-cut compasses and scenes for the third border.
- Join the border blocks into the surrounding rows and add the remaining strip borders. Finish by layering, quilting and binding the completed top as desired.
