How to make
Seam allowances are quarter inch throughout. Press seams to one side, unless otherwise instructed.
From the white fabric cut:
One (1) 20in x 2.5in strip. Three (3) 20in x 2in strips. Three (3) 9.5in x 2in strips. One (1) 5.5in x 2.5in piece. One (1) 7.5in x 2.5in pice. One (1) 9.5in x 2.5in piece. One (1) 4.5 x 2.5in piece. One (1) 2.5in square. Four (4) 6.5in squares. Subcut a quarter circle out of one corner of each square, using the Small Quarter Circle Template. Two (2) 3in x 4.5in pieces.
Sew the dark pink 15.5in x 2.5in strip to the white 5.5in x 2.5in strip. Sew the dark pink 7.5in x 2.5in strip to the white 2.5in square. Press both seams towards the coloured fabric (Fig 8).
Cut a piece of white fabric a few inches larger than your quilt top. Do the same with your wadding. Lay your white backing fabric out flat, then place the wadding on top, and place your quilt top on top, right side up. This is called a quilt sandwich (Fig 12). Baste together using your preferred method – pins, safety pins, large tacking stitches or basting spray.
Cut four 2.5in wide strips from a coordinating fat quarter. Place one strip horizontally and place another strip vertically on top of the right edge, right sides together.
Take the two white 3in x 4.5in pieces and fold over the long edges. Press. Topstitch these down with a white thread (Fig 25).
