Rocky Road Free Quilt Pattern by Jeanne Horton
Rocky Road by Jeanne Horton uses American Spirit cheater cloth to create an 82 by 84.5 inch quilt. Printed stars are carefully positioned in the center and the outer border, with a green border separating those sections. The pattern specifies nineteen complete repeats of the main print so the star sections can be cut as directed. Blue binding is listed, with prewashed Spirit Velvet in Cadet Blue offered as an alternative finish.

- Cut the cheater-cloth center to include the specified three rows across and four down, then prepare the green border strips.

- Cut the printed-star border sections lengthwise with the indicated seam allowances, attach the five-star side sections, and add the seven-star top and bottom sections.
