If you would like to share your finished quit tops, I love you to submit pictures and I'll share them on this blog.
The majority of the strips required for assembly will need
to be two pieces sewn together to be long enough.
Of the backround/sashing fabric, you will need:
A-
6 pieces of 2.5”x 14.5”
B-
4 pieces of 2.5”x 46.5”
C-
2 pieces of 2.5”x 50.5”
Of the border fabric, you will need
D-
2 pieces of 4.5”x 50.5”
E-
2 pieces of 4.5”x 58.5”
Begin by laying out your blocks in a 3x3 pattern in a manner
that you are happy with how they look together. I just did them in order.
Take two of the pieces of
2.5”x 14.5” sashing (A) and sew them between the three blocks of the first row,
so that it makes one continuous row. Repeat with second and third rows.
Sew a piece of the 2.5”x 46.5” sashing (B) onto the top of
each of the three rows you just assembled.
Sew the last piece of the sashing of
that length to the bottom of the third row. Then sew the second row to the
first, and the third to the second so that all the rows are one big piece.
Take the two 2.5”x 50.5” pieces (C) and sew them to the right
and left sides of assembled rows.
Sew the two shorter pieces of border fabric (D) to the top
and bottom ends of the quilt.
Then sew the longer border pieces (E) to the left
and right sides.
That’s it. All done.
