QUILT<br />
Back<br />
QUILT TOP<br />
1. Trace templates A and B onto template plastic, cut out and<br />
mark. Note – To use templates, position template in one corner<br />
of 3½” square and cut around the curve using the 25mm rotary<br />
cutter. Template A – keep the quarter circle. Template B – keep<br />
the background and discard the quarter circle.<br />
2. Using template A and 3½” squares cut the following quarter<br />
circles – 10 x Fabric A, 11 x Fabric B, 11 x Fabric C,<br />
15 x Fabric D, 11 x Fabric E, 16 x Fabric F, 10 x Fabric G,<br />
12 x Fabric H.<br />
3. Using template B and 3½” squares cut the following<br />
background pieces – 10 x Fabric A, 11 x Fabric B,<br />
11 x Fabric C, 15 x Fabric D, 11 x Fabric E, 16 x Fabric F,<br />
10 x Fabric G, 12 x Fabric H.<br />
4. Lay out the quilt top – quarter circles, background pieces,<br />
remaining 3½” squares, 3½” x 6½” rectangles and 6½” squares<br />
refer to diagram 1 for colour and diagram 2 for block<br />
placement.<br />
5. To sew quarter circles to background pieces together mark<br />
centre of curve on each piece by folding in half and creasing.<br />
Place background piece on top, right sides facing, and pin<br />
together at the centre point with pin at right angles to the seam.<br />
6. With pieces aligned stitch to the pin at the centre of curve using<br />
fi ngertips or wooden skewer to help keep curved edges<br />
aligned. With needle down, lift presser foot and adjust top<br />
fabric away from you, align edges and sew, stopping 1” from<br />
end to adjust top fabric making sure ends are aligned.<br />
Tip: Hold one piece of fabric with the right hand and the other with<br />
the left so you can move the two pieces back and forth as you<br />
sew. Keeping your eye on the small area where you are actually<br />
sewing as you move down the strips sewing them together.<br />
7. There is no need to clip curve just press seam. Sew all quarter<br />
circles to background pieces and replace in layout.<br />
8. Sew blocks together in each row 1-9. Then sew rows together.<br />
9. Layer backing (Fabric I - Stripe, Ivory), batting and quilt top,<br />
baste together. Stipple quilt or quilt as desired.<br />
10. Join the 5 x 2½” binding strips to make one long strip. Press in<br />
half lengthwise and bind mitering corners. Attach a label or sign<br />
and date your quilt.<br />
