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