5" half-square triangle paper for making triangles<br />
Directions:<br />
1. Cut (20) 1 1 /2" strips of the Planting Rows fabric. Sew 2 of<br />
these strips together end-to-end, to make 1 long strip<br />
85 1 /2" long. Repeat 9 more times, until you have (10)<br />
85 1 /2" long strips.<br />
2. Cut (8) 5 1 /2" strips of the Mini Poppies fabric. Sew 2 of<br />
these strips together end-to-end, to make 1 long strip<br />
85 1 /2" long. Repeat 3 more times, until you have (4)<br />
85 1 /2" long strips.<br />
3. Cut the length of the <strong>Almost</strong> a <strong>Poppy</strong> fabric down to<br />
85 1 /2", setting aside the other 58 1 /2" for the side borders.<br />
From the 85 1 /2" long piece of fabric, cut (4) 10 1 /2" strips<br />
lengthwise, and trim 2 of them to 75 1 /2" long. These (2)<br />
75 1 /2" long strips will be used for the top and bottom<br />
borders. The (2) 85 1 /2" long strips will be used for the<br />
center panels. With the remaining 58 1 /2" long piece of<br />
<strong>Almost</strong> a <strong>Poppy</strong> fabric, cut (4) 10 1 /2" strips lengthwise.<br />
Piece 2 of them together end-to-end to get 1 long strip<br />
measuring 10 1 /2" x 115 1 /2". Repeat once for a total of (2)<br />
115 1 /2" long borders for the sides of the quilt.<br />
4. Cut (5) 3 1 /2" strips of the Garden Trellis fabric,<br />
lengthwise, <strong>by</strong> the full length of the fabric, carefully<br />
centering the border stripe motif.<br />
5. Referring to the quilt image on the cover for placement,<br />
arrange all the 85 1 /2" long strips in order, and piece them<br />
together to make the center of the quilt.<br />
6. Using the 5" half-square triangle paper, cut 64 triangles<br />
<strong>from</strong> the <strong>Poppy</strong> Greens fabric, and 64 triangles <strong>from</strong> the<br />
Planting Rows fabric. Piece together 64 half-square<br />
triangle units, each with 1 <strong>Poppy</strong> Greens triangle and 1<br />
Planting Rows triangle.
7. Sew together a row of 13 of these half-square triangle<br />
units, always keeping one side of the dark (Planting<br />
Rows) triangle towards the bottom edge of the strip<br />
section (refer to quilt image on cover for suggested<br />
placement and direction). Repeat once for a total of 2<br />
strip sets.<br />
8. Sew 1 of these strip-set borders to the top of the quilt,<br />
and the other to the bottom, again keeping the dark<br />
edge (the Planting Rows fabric) nearest to the center of<br />
the quilt.<br />
9. Sew together a row of 19 of the half-square triangle units,<br />
keeping the dark portion (the Planting Rows fabric) all to<br />
one side of the strip set. Repeat once for a total of 2 strip<br />
sets.<br />
10. Sew 1 of these strip-set borders to either side of the<br />
quilt, keeping the dark portion (the Planting Rows<br />
fabric) nearest to the center of the quilt.<br />
11. Sew 1 of the 10 1 /2" x 75 1 /2" <strong>Almost</strong> a <strong>Poppy</strong> strips to the<br />
top of the quilt, and the other to the bottom.<br />
12. Sew 1 of the 10 1 /2" x 115 1 /2" <strong>Almost</strong> a <strong>Poppy</strong> strips to<br />
either side of the quilt.<br />
13. Layer the quilt top with batting and backing, and quilt<br />
in the desired fashion.<br />
14. Scallop the outer edge of the quilt, if desired.<br />
15. Bind the quilt with 1 /4" bias binding. Binding strips for<br />
1/4" single-fold binding should be cut at 1 1 /4".<br />
