  • Quilt backing of your choice
  • Sewing machine
  • Thread

Instructions:

Finished Size Single Bed - 112cm x 170cm

Tip- This is a simple quilt to put together but requires accurate cutting for a straight-line right across the full width of the fabric.

Step 1- Cut:

Fabric A: Cut 3 - 7" x width of fabric strips

Fabric B: Cut 2 - 16" x width of fabric strips

Fabric C: Cut 4 - 1.5" x width of fabric strips

Fabric D: Cut 5 - 3" x width of fabric strips

Step 2- Carefully join the strips together in the correct order (Figure 1) using a

1/4 inch seam allowance (AD CBC DAD CBC DAD).

Step 3- Press the seams gently along the line so you don't distort the long joins.

Step 4- Sandwich and quilt as desired.

Step 5- Square up your quilt and add binding.
