●
Trim the test samples to 6-1/2"
square. Carefully trim away any excess stabilizer.
● Cut
strips of fabric in the size desired to create an overall
block size of 10 1/2".
Note:
In our sample, 1-1/2"-wide
strips were cut and
stitched together, with the exception of the center block.
●
Sew the side strips on the first block and trim at an angle
for
interest
(A on page 3). Add the upper and lower edge block strips
in the same manner. Sew
and cut another set of strips similarlywide where
the first one was narrow, and vice versa (B on page 3).
●
Sew strips to the remaining blocks as noted above.
●
Trim the finished blocks to 10-1/2"
(C on page
3).
Note:
The center
block is done slightly different than the others. In this
block, a narrow
(3/4"
finished) black fabric strip was inserted between the purple
strip
and the final strip. This distinguishes the center block
from the other
blocks and gives the quilt a focal point. |
