INSTRUCTIONS:
Cutting:
- Cut a square 25 ½” x 25 ½” for the quilt center.
- Outside border fabrics are directional, so cut 2 strips 6 ½” x width of fabric and then trim to 6 ½”x 38”. These will be the top and bottom borders.
- From the remainder of the fabric, cut 2 strips lengthwise – 6 ½”x 25 ½”. These will be outside border sides.
- Cut 4 strips 2 ½”x width of fabric for binding.
- Cut 2 squares of solids for the block backgrounds – 10” x 20”.
- Cut 1” strips of Heat’N Bond Lite and press on the outside edges of the wrong sides.
Construction:
- Sew side borders to the center square. Then sew on top and bottom borders.
- Trace all patterns for fusible appliqué onto the paper side of the Heat’N Bond Lite. Press Heat'N Bond to the wrong side of the desired fabrics and cut out.
- Wavy cut the outside edges of the solid block background pieces, then remove paper before placement. Peel paper from cut out designs and place on background blocks per quilt photos.
- Sandwich top, batting & backing and quilt as desired. Bind & enjoy!!
