Quilt - Cut seven strips measuring 2½" x WO and reserve for Step 3. rom the remaining fabric, cut 12 using Template, 20 using Template and two regular and two reversed using Template D/Dr. Cutting Notes Reversed Patches. Many of the templates are used to cut regular and reversed patches. To cut a reversed patch, simply flip the template marked side down on the fabric. Using batiks? Most batik fabrics are reversible: they are identical on both sides. If this is the case for your fabrics, you can double the number of regular patches you cut and eliminate cutting the reversed patches. (or example, if instructed to cut two regular and two reversed using Template A/Ar, simply cut four regular.) Regular Maximizing abric Yield. Nesting templates helps maximize the number of pieces you can get out of a given cut of fabric. Try rotating a template 180 to see if you can fit them closely together as in the examples below.

Use Template E/Er to mark seam intersection dots on the wrong side of all the segments. Step 4: Make the Quadrants If you have not yet done so, transfer the seam intersection dots from the templates to the wrong side of all the fabric patches. Doing so will save considerable time matching the patches in this step and improve the quality of the final product. The quilt is constructed from four quadrants: two regular and two reversed (see Step 5). Referring to the illustrations below, sew the patches together into rows, matching at the seam intersection dots.

Sew two of the remaining strips together to make a length of approx. 80"; repeat for the remaining two strips. abric 10 - Border 3. Sew two of the 5" strips together end to end to make a length of approximately 80". Repeat for the remaining three pairs. Border 2 - (abric 2/Light, abric 4/Dark). Sew the seven 1½" strips together end to end, then cut into two pieces of 62" and two of 70". old all the border pieces in half and finger-press a crease at the center. The shorter pieces are used for the top and bottom borders; the longer pieces are used for the side borders. All of the border pieces have been cut/made oversized and will be trimmed to fit later. Matching the center creases, sew the border pieces together as illustrated below, making a total of four border lengths. (Note that the ends will not be even.) Border 1 Border 2 Border 3 ollowing the instructions for Jinny Beyer s No-Math Method for Perfectly Mitered Borders on page 4, cut the borders to size and sew them to the quilt center. Step 7: inish the Quilt Layer the quilt as follows: backing (wrong side up), batting, quilt top (right side up). Baste the layers together, and quilt as desired. When the quilting is completed, trim the backing and batting even with quilt top edges. Bind the quilt using the reserved binding fabric and your favorite binding method. 2018, RJR abrics Page 3

Jinny Beyer s No-Math Method for Perfectly Mitered Borders Jinny has developed a simple way to cut and sew mitered quilt borders -- no tape measures required.

5 Jinny Beyer s No-Math Method for Perfectly Mitered Borders Jinny has developed a simple way to cut and sew mitered quilt borders -- no tape measures required. This method works for single or multi-fabric borders, and for rectangular or square quilts; a rectangular quilt with a two-fabric border is illustrated here. To make the borders for the top/bottom of the quilt, lay one of the shorter border strips across the center of the quilt horizontally as in the illustration, right (If you are bordering a square quilt, all the borders will be the same size.) Note that the top strip (as in the illustration) will be the innermost border (Border 1) of the quilt so take care to orient your border strips correctly. Why the center of the quilt? Since the outside edges of a quilt top often get stretched and opposite sides often measure slightly differently, using a measurement taken from the middle of the quilt will help keep the quilt from ruffling at the edges. To mark the first miter, position a right-angle triangle so that one of the sides of the right angle runs along the bottom edge of the border strip. Then carefully move the triangle until the angled side touches the point where the top edge of the border meets the edge of the quilt. (If you are using a quilter s ruler, align the 45 line along the bottom edge of the border strip.) Mark then cut the 45 miter line. Repeat on the other side. Because the miter is cut right at the edge of the quilt, the seam allowance is already included. Repeat to cut a second strip or use the first as a pattern. These are the top and bottom border strips Position the ruler carefully so the angle starts right at the edge of the quilt top 1. The 45 line of a quilter s ruler or the base of a rightangle triangle should be flush with the bottom edge of the border strip 2. Mark the mitered angles on the border strips then cut. 1 Repeat the process, this time laying a longer border strip vertically across the center of the quilt. (The fabric closest to the center of the quilt will be the innermost border.) Cut two strips in this fashion for the sides of the quilt. On the wrong side of the fabric of all four border pieces, mark the seam intersection point with a dot. Do the same for all four corners of the quilt top. On the wrong side of each border, draw a short line marking the ¼- inch seam line along the short side of the border strip and the angled side. You will match this seam intersection point with the dots marked on the quilt corners. Working one strip at a time, pin the border to the quilt center, matching the dots on the border and the quilt and easing in any fullness. Sew the border strips to the quilt top, stopping and starting at the dots. Lastly, pin the angled border edges together, carefully matching the seams if the border strips are made from multiple fabrics. Sew the miter seams, starting at the dot and locking the stitches at the beginning and end of the seams. Reprinted with Permission of Jinny Beyer Studio 2013, Jinny Beyer 2018, RJR abrics Page 4

6 To make templates, place see-through plastic over the patterns. Copy all the lines and markings onto the template plastic. Cut out along the solid line. To make it easy to transfer the seam intersection dots, punch a hole through the dots in the corners. Template E/Er 2018, RJR abrics Page 5
