Binding Fabric Cutting InstructionsCut 8 strips 2½” x WOF

Step 5

You will be creating 16 main blocks. Start by taking a 10" square and sewing it to a 3½" x 10" background strip, Fig 1. Press the seam towards the 10"sq.

Step 6

Sew a 3½" x 13" strip to the right side of the unit, Fig 2.

Step 7

Press this seam towards the background fabric. Repeat until you have created 16 main blocks, Fig 3. All 16 blocks have the 3½" x 13" strip on the right side.

Step 8

Start by sewing the following pieces together, one 10" square one 3 1/2" x 13" background fabric. Fig 4.

Step 9

Press seams towards the 10"sq. Repeat to create 4 top edge main blocks.

Step 10

Start by sewing the following pieces together, one 10" square one 3 1/2" x 13" background fabric. Fig 6. Press seams towards the 10"sq.

Step 11

Repeat to create 4 bottom edge main blocks, Fig 7. Note: the background fabric pieces are intentionally longer than the print fabric.

Step 12

You will be creating 15 accent blocks. Start by taking 2 strips of accent fabric and 2 strips of background fabric and sewing them together as shown in Fig 8. Press seams towards the dark fabric. Repeat 2 more times.

Step 13

Subcut into 3¾” wide units, cut a total of 30 striped units.

Step 14

Take 2 striped units 3¾" wide and 2 background strips 3½" x 13" and sew together as shown in Fig 9.

Step 15

Press seams toward the background fabric. Repeat to create 15 accent blocks, Fig 10.

Step 16

Start by sewing the pieces together, as shown in Fig 11. Press seams towards the dark fabric.

Step 17

Then sew the 6¾" sq to the left side and the 3½" x 13" strip to the right side as shown, Fig 12.

Step 18

Repeat to create 5 left-side accent units, Fig 13.

Step 19

Start by sewing the following pieces together, as shown in Fig 14. Press seams towards the background fabric.

Step 20

Sew the vertical pieces together first. Repeat to create 5 right-side accent units, Fig 15.

Step 21

Lay out your quilt blocks. Start by assembling each column. Starting at the bottom left corner of the quilt, sew each block in the left column together. Continue with all the columns. Press your seams in the direction of the arrows.

Step 22

Starting with the left column, sew five finished columns together. Press each seam as you go. Start from the right and sew the remaining four finished columns together. Finally, sew the two halves together.

Step 23

Once the quilt top is sewn together, stitch around the perimeter of your quilt top with a ¼" seam allowance from your points.

Step 24

This will keep the edges of your quilt from stretching. You can trim your quilt top before or after the quilting is finished. Note: I prefer to trim after the top is quilted.

Step 25

Cut the 5½ yards of backing fabric into two identical 2¾ yard (99") pieces. Trim selvage edge off one side of each piece and sew together on long cut edges using a ½" seam allowance. Press seam allowance open. This will create a back that is approximately 84" x 99".
