Level: Beginner
What you'll need:
- 4 coordinating fabrics (this quilt uses our new Mel Armstrong Designer range)
Fabric A: 60cm
Fabric B: 85cm
Fabric C: 20cm
Fabric D: 40cm
Allow an extra 40cm for a 2" binding strip around quilt - fabric of your choosing - Wadding
- Quilt backing of your choice
- Sewing machine
- Thread
- General sewing tools
Instructions:
Finished Size Single Bed - 112cm x 170cm
Tip- This is a simple quilt to put together but requires accurate cutting for a straight-line right across the full width of the fabric.
Step 1- Cut:
Fabric A: Cut 3 - 7" x width of fabric strips
Fabric B: Cut 2 - 16" x width of fabric strips
Fabric C: Cut 4 - 1.5" x width of fabric strips
Fabric D: Cut 5 - 3" x width of fabric strips
Step 2- Carefully join the strips together in the correct order (Figure 1) using a
1/4 inch seam allowance (AD CBC DAD CBC DAD).
Step 3- Press the seams gently along the line so you don't distort the long joins.
Step 4- Sandwich and quilt as desired.
Step 5- Square up your quilt and add binding.
