Prewash and press all fabric before cutting
Fabric
400 3" Squares of your choice in varying colors
of reds, khakis, and creams. We have selected a collection from the French General line.
A variety of 1/8 yard fabrics. From each 1/8
yard prewashed fabric you will get a minimum of 14 3" squares.
A variety of 1/4 yard fabrics. From each
1/4 yard prewashed fabric you will get a minimum of 28 3" squares.
You will need a total of 400 3" squares. Of these
400 3" squares, you will bring 20 to exchange at the June
meeting. These 20 can be all of the same fabric or you can bring
a variety.
Assembly Instructions
Select 400 3" squares for center of quilt.
Using a 1/4 inch seam allowance, sew blocks 20 rows by 20
rows.
Center of quilt should measure approximately 50" x 50".
Border
You will need two and a half yards of border fabric. Two yards will work but after washing it
is better to have extra for the border length. The border width will be the width of your
fabric divided by four. For example if
your fabric width is 40" after washing and cutting the selvages off you
will have four 10" widths. The
inner sashing can be cut on the width to save fabric but will need to be
pieced. Depending on the width of the
inner border you want depends on the amount of fabric. Backing will depend on all of your
measurements. On this quilt I would use
the left over fabrics and piece them for the backing.
Makes finished size about 71”. Number of squares would need to be adjusted to make a different sized quilt.
