The Quilt Instructions

Monday, June 29, 2009


Where does time go? I swear....time really does fly. Barb and I taught two classes on Saturday. (Very fun group of ladies I might add!) Then yesterday the weather was only 89 degrees and the humidity was low...so I did yard work. My gardens are in full bloom and some of them are full of weeds. So I spent the day getting rid of weeds...

But today we are going to begin the pattern I promised last week.

Start with 2 jelly rolls and add 10 yds. of a cream or any light print you would like to use.
I know that 10 yards seems like a lot....but Barb says the ruffle alone takes 3 1/2 yds.

The jelly rolls are 2 1/2" wide. You will need to cut the fabrics into 2 1/2" squares.
The following pictures show the method Barb used to sew half-square-triangles. (You don't really need a plate for this either.)

Draw a diagonal line down the center of one of the squares. You could fold the fabric in half and use the crease line if you would rather.

Sew a seam along the drawn line....or down the crease if you folded the square in half.

Trim, leaving a 1/4" seam allowance.

Press the unit open. The result is one half-square-triangle unit. (You will need a lot of these for this quilt.)

There is a total of 64 pieced blocks.
Cut 57 - 8 1/2” squares from the cream fabric for your alternating block.
The cream fabric is also cut into 2 1/2" squares for the pieced blocks. You need 12 of the 2 1/2" cream squares for each block. 4 of the squares are saved for the corners of each block.
Here is a close up of one of the blocks to give you an idea.


The bias ruffle is cut into 8 1/2’’ strips.

I hate to leave before I finish this post....but I have a meeting and I can't be late. I know you can't finish this quilt in one evening anyway. I will be a bit more clear tomorrow! (Well....maybe not....but I will try!) Get your fabric and begin making the half-square triangles.

Until tomorrow!

Alma

    Thank you so much, this looks like fun!!!!

    Now all I need is to find jelly rolls and 10 yards of cream fabric..... not easy around here!!!

    I see you are well, I still have in mind our encounter in Nantes and it was a special moment for me to meet the two of you.

    Take care!!!

    Beautiful quilt. It makes me want to go on a picnic or take a nap on a screened in porch on a house by the river like my grandparents used to own when I was a kid. Can't wait to get started. Thanks.

    I'm not even a quilter and I have gotten sucked in by this wonderful pattern Alma. I love quilts and have some old family quilts but I stitch, hook and knit so quilting is taboo - bad juju - having the Olde Green Cupboard as my LQS is very dangerous as well - I think I am falling for this quilt - I will be paying a visit there this week to find Jelly Rolls. I hope some of the other commenters are correct in saying it's an easy pattern LOL - Thanks Melody
