stacked bricks, top completed

Stacked Bricks
80 blocks set 10 by 8, finishing 80 by 96 inches.
My design, use at your pleasure.

Block finishes 8 by 12 inches
Cutting
Solid: six rectangles 2 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches
Print: six rectangles 2 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches
Could work with precut 2 1/2 inch strips and strip piecing, but I cut all my pieces because I work from scraps.

Piecing
Piece in columns of 6, pressing toward the side that ends in a print.
Sew block together nesting seams.
I wait with pressing the center seam until I assemble the quilt so I can be strategic to nest seams.

Assembly
Sew two blocks together along the 8 inch sides, then sew two of these units together into a 4-block unit.

Make 4 rows of 5 units.
Just three longer seams to complete assembly.
With careful pressing all seams of quilt will nest.
