The three teal values add dimension the patchwork and make this quilt glow. About This Quilt When choosing fabric for this quilt pay close attention the values. The three teals should all coordinate but have contrast. The same idea applies the white, medium gray, dark gray and black fabrics. When cutting for patches for the foundation sections, cut "x " rectangles. Subcut the rectangles in half diagonally. This will save fabric. The Quiltmaker Digital Pattern ollection 0

9 basic lessons The way you mark, cut and sew varies significantly from machine piecing hand piecing, so please refer the appropriate section before starting a project. about our patterns We recommend that you read all of the instructions before starting a project and that you cut and sew one block before cutting all of your fabric. Using a rotary cutter, mat and an acrylic ruler, cut the shape the size indicated in the cutting list. Pressing tabs indicate the direction press the seam allowances. Our patterns list finished block sizes, which are typically " smaller than unfinished block sizes because they do not include seam allowances. Rotary-cut patches Patterns that include this symbol can be rotary cut and include seam allowances. Use the dimensions given in the symbol cut patches this shape. Shaded patches illustrate how many can be rotary cut from the larger patch. White patches indicate discards. If you wish make full-sized templates of the diagrammed patches, use graph paper draft the measure ments given, noting that seam allowances are included. basic quilting supplies Rotary cutter and mat Acrylic ruler: Many shapes and sizes are available; a good one start with is "x " with " and 8" markings Scissors: A separate pair for paper and fabric Sewing machine " foot Walking foot Darning foot Pins Ironing board & iron Marking pencils/markers/etc. Needles Thimble Safety pins Template plastic Thread L x L L L x preparing your fabric We recommend that you pre-wash your fabrics. A shrinkage facr is included in our yardage computations. machine piecing It is important cut accurately and sew exact " seams. Templates Trace the patterns on template plastic and cut out accurately. Planning Measure, mark and cut the binding and border strips before cutting patches from the same fabric. ut larger patches before smaller ones. For best use of the fabric, arrange patches with cutting lines close or uching. One or more straight sides of the patch should follow the lengthwise (parallel the selvages) or crosswise (perpendicular the selvages) grain of fabric, especially the sides that will be on the outside edges of the quilt block. We indicate lengthwise or crosswise grain with an arrow on the pattern piece. utting To find the grainline of your fabric for rotary cutting, hold the fabric with selvages parallel in front of you. Keeping the selvages gether, slide the edge closest you one side or the other until the fabric hangs straight, without wrinkles or folds. Then lay the fabric down on your cutting mat and cut perpendicular the fold line. Use this cut edge as your straight-of-grain line. Many patches can be cut from strips of fabric by rotary cutting. First, cut a strip of fabric the width needed. Then, cross-cut strips in patches. To cut from a template, place the template face down on the wrong side of the fabric and trace with a sharp pencil. Reverse (r) templates should be placed face up on the wrong side of the fabric before tracing. Piecing Align the cut edges of fabric with the edge of the presser foot if it is " wide. If not, place mask ing tape on the throat plate of your ma chine " away from the needle guide you. Sew all the way the cut edge. ut A trimming template To ensure accurate piecing of triangular patches, you may want trim the points on patches with angles. a template from the full-size trimming template pattern shown here. Align the edges of the trimming template with the patch and trim each point. You may only need align one of the trimmed sides with the adjacent patch before sewing. Trimming Template hand piecing Templates and utting es Mark the seam lines rather than cutting lines when hand piecing. ut out patches approximately " beyond the marked seam lines. To make a template for hand piecing, trace the seam (dashed) line of a full-size template pattern on template plastic. To convert rotary cutting diagrams hand-piecing templates, first draw the shape scale, then subtract " from every side. Trace the full-size templates on the wrong side of your fabric using a sharp pencil, leaving at least " between each traced line. Piecing Put patches right sides gether matching seam lines. Sew the seam through the marked lines with a short running stitch using a single thread. egin and end stitching at the seam line (not the edge of the fabric) with or backstitches secure the seam. Running Stitch ackstitch

10 foundation piecing paper copies of each foundation. Sew patches in the numerical order printed on the pattern. enter fabric under #, extending beyond the seam allowances, wrong side of the fabric the unprinted side of the paper and pin in place from the paper side. Turn fabric side up. Using a patch of fabric sufficient cover # and its seam allowances, position the # patch right sides gether on patch # as shown so that the fabric s edge extends at least " in the # area. Pin in place. Set a very short stitch length on your sewing machine (8 0 stitches per inch or. mm). Turn the assembly paper side up. Stitch through the paper and the fabric layers along the printed seam line, beginning and ending " beyond the ends of the line. Turn assembly the fabric side. Trim the seam allowances approximately ". Press the fabric open cover # and seam allowances. Repeat this process complete the blocks or sections, allowing at least " beyond the edge of the paper. Use a rotary cutter and ruler trim " outside the seam line of the foundation, creating a seam allowance. If necessary, join sections by matching points and sewing with " seam. Once all the seams around a foundation section have been sewn, remove the paper foundations. applique No turn-under allowances are given on applique patterns. Using a light table if needed, position background fabric over the applique placement diagram. Lightly mark the major shapes with pencil or chalk. Optionally, finger crease the fabric in half lengthwise, crosswise and diagonally form guidelines for placement of the patches. Use a stabilizer on the back support machine stitching that is dense (like satin stitching) and keep the fabric from tunneling. hoose a stabilizer that matches the weight of the fabric. After the applique is complete, gently remove the stabilizer. Turned-Edge Applique It is helpful have as many bias edges as possible on the perimeter of your applique patches. Trace and cut on the seam line of the pattern make a template. Place the template face up on the right side of the fabric (face down on the right side for a reverse patch) and lightly draw around it. ut out each patch about " outside the marked line. On inward curves, clip the " allowances almost the marked seam line. Turn under the allowance and finger press. Pin or baste applique patches on the background fabric. To applique by hand, use a blind stitch and a thread color that matches the patch. To applique by machine, use a small zigzag or blind hem stitch and a matching or invisible thread. If the background fabric shows through the appliqued patch, carefully cut away the background fabric within " of the applique patch or use layers of applique fabric. Fusible Applique Raw-edge applique using paper-backed fusible web is a fast and easy way applique. ecause fused patches are drawn on the paper side of the web and then flipped when ironed on the fabric, you may need reverse the applique patterns (see specific pattern for instructions and whether reversing the presented patterns is necessary). Add " underlap allowance those edges that lie under another. Trace the pattern pieces, also drawing the needed underlap allowances, on the paper side of a fusible web leaving at least " between all the pieces. ut about " outside each drawn line. To eliminate stiffness, try this variation for patches larger than ": ut out the center of the fusible web " inside the drawn line, making a ring of fusible web. Following the manufacturer s directions, iron the web, paper side up, the wrong side of the fabric. ut out the shape exactly on the drawn line. arefully pull away the paper backing. Fuse the patches the background where marked. To finish the raw edges, satin stitch with stabilizer, or blanket stitch, zigzag or blind hem stitch using colored or invisible thread. ias Strips ias strips are cut at a angle the º grain of the fabric. They are stretchy and therefore ideal for creating curved applique stems. your first cut by aligning a guideline on your acrylic ruler with the ¼ cut edge or selvage of your fabric. Use this new bias edge cut strips the required width. Prepare bias strips for applique by folding in half lengthwise, wrong sides gether. Stitch " from the raw edges. Offset the seam allow ance; press ward the center. Trim the seam allow ance 8". pressing Press all seam allowances one side, usually ward the darker fabric; follow the pressing tabs presented with each pattern. When joining blocks and/ or rows, seam allowances are pressed allow nesting of seams which reduces bulk in the quilt p. techniques urved Piecing ut patches using a small-bladed rotary cutter maneuver curves. With right sides gether, pin the convex patch the inside, or concave, curve of the second patch at the middle, the ends and a few places in between. Sew with the concave patch on the p, spping frequently with the needle down adjust the fabric lay flat under the needle and presser foot. After stitching, press the seam allowance ward the convex piece. Fast Flying Geese* Align small squares on opposite corners of the large square, right sides gether. Draw a diagonal line as shown and then stitch ¼" out from both sides of the line. ut apart on the marked line. With the small squares on p, open out the small squares and press the unit. On the remaining corner of each of these units, align a small square. Draw a line from corner corner and sew ¼" out on both sides of the line. ut on the marked lines, open the small squares and press. Each set of large square and small squares makes Flying Geese. Quarter-Square Triangles* With right sides gether and the lighter fabric on p, pair one square of each color that makes the unit. On the lighter patch, draw a diagonal line from corner corner. Stitch ¼" out from both sides of the line. ut apart on the marked line make triangle-squares. With the darker fabric up, open out the p patch and press the unit. ut both triangle-squares in half diagonally as shown. Referring the diagram, join the appropriate halves make units. oncave *These units will finish at the correct size for each pattern. No trimming is needed. onvex

11 Set-in Seams A set in patch is inserted in an angle formed by two other patches. First, mark the seam lines on all three patches so you ll know exactly where stitch. Align the edges of two patches and pin along the marked lines. Sew the seam, spping the stitches at the end of the marked seam line; backstitch. Pivot the set in patch so the adjacent edge aligns with the edge of the third patch. Matching seams, pin in place. Starting exactly where the previous seam ended, sew two stitches, then backstitch, taking care not stitch in seam allowance. Stitch the outer edge. Stitch-and-Flip Align a patch (* in this example) on a corner of a unit or second patch right sides gether. Mark a diagonal line on the * patch from corner corner and sew on the marked line. Trim the seam allowance ¼" as shown. Flip the * patch open and press. Triangle-Squares* With right sides gether and the lighter fabric on p, pair one square of each color that makes the unit. On the lighter patch, draw a diagonal line from corner corner. Stitch ¼" out from both sides of the line. ut apart on the marked line. With the darker fabric up, open out the p patch and press the unit. A pair of squares will yield units. *These units will finish at the correct size for each pattern. No trimming is needed. eading Use a beading thread secure beads your work. It s advisable make a knot after every bead or every few beads. ecause bugle beads can be sharp and sometimes cut the thread, it helps buffer them with a round bead at each end. * Mitered borders are added by sewing border strips all sides of the quilt center and then mitering each corner. When joining each border strip the quilt, begin and end stitches " from the quilt p corners and backstitch. Referring the diagrams, fold the quilt right sides gether diagonally at one corner. Flip the seam allow ance ward the quilt p, match seam lines and pin through both layers about " from the corner. Place a ruler along the folded edge of the quilt p, intersecting the final stitch in the border seam and extending through the border strip. Draw a line from the stitch the outer edge of the border. Pin gether along the pencil line. Sew along the line the edge of the border; backstitch. Trim seam allowances "; press open. Repeat for all corners. marking Trace the quilting motif on tracing paper. Place tracing paper under the quilt p with a light source behind. Lightly mark the design on the quilt p with a hard lead pencil or a marker of your choice. Test any marking product for removability before using it on your quilt. Straight lines may be marked as you quilt by using masking tape that is pulled away after quilting along its edge. backing and basting the quilt backing " 8" larger than the quilt p. Remove the selvages avoid puckers. Usually or lengths must be sewn gether; press the seam allowances open. Place the backing wrong side up on a flat surface, stretch slightly and tape or pin in place. Smooth the batting over the backing. enter quilt p right side up on p of the batting. Pin the layers as necessary secure them while basting. asting for Machine Quilting Machine-quilted ps can be basted with rustproof safety pins. egin at the center and place pins " " apart, avoiding lines be quilted. asting for Hand Quilting eginning in the center of the quilt, baste horizontal and vertical lines " " apart. Start Single ead Yo-yos Using the circle diameter called for in the pattern (approximately twice the finished yo-yo size plus ½"), make a template. On the wrong side of the fabric, use the template draw a circle. ut out the circle on the marked line. Turn under a scant ¼" the wrong side of the fabric. Sew a short basting stitch around the circle, leaving a knot and thread tail at the beginning of the circle. Pull on the threads gather the fabric, making sure the right side of the fabric is on the outside of the yo-yo. Take a few stitches secure the gathering stitches and tie off. lip the threads close the knot. borders Start ugle ead Squared borders are added first the sides of the quilt center, then the p and botm. Lay the quilt p flat on a large table or the floor. Lay both border # side strips down the vertical center of the quilt p and smooth carefully in place. Slip a small cutting mat under the quilt p (you ll need do this at the p and the botm) and use a rotary cutter and ruler trim the border strips the same length as the quilt p. Matching centers and ends, sew the border side strips the quilt. Gently press the seam allowances away from the quilt center. For the p and botm borders, repeat this process along the horizontal center of the quilt, including the newly added borders. Repeat for any remaining borders. quilting Quilt in the ditch refers quilting right next the seam line on the side without seam allowances. Outline quilting refers quilting " from the seam line. Echo quilting refers quilting one or more lines of stitching in uniform distances away from a patch. Machine Quilting efore machine quilting, bring the bobbin thread the p of the quilt so it doesn t get caught as you quilt: lower the presser foot, hold the p thread and take one stitch down and up, lift the presser foot release the thread tension and tug on the p thread draw a loop of the bobbin thread the p of the quilt. Pull the bobbin thread the p. Lower the needle in the same hole created by the initial stitch, lower your presser foot, and start quilting. A walking foot is used for straight-line or ditch quilting. To freemotion quilt, drop (or cover) your feed dogs and use a darning foot. Start and end your quilting lines with " of very short stitches secure. Hand Quilting Hand quilting is done in a short running stitch with a single strand of thread that goes through all three layers. Use a short needle (8 or 9 between) with about 8" of thread. a small knot in the thread, and take a long first stitch (about ") through the p and batting only, coming up where the quilting will begin. Tug on the thread pull the knotted end between the layers. Take short, even stitches that are the same size on the p and back of the quilt. Push the needle with a thimble on your middle finger; guide the fabric in front of the needle with the thumb of one hand above the quilt and with the middle finger of your other hand under the quilt. To end a line of quilting, make a small knot in the thread close the quilt p, push the needle through the p and batting only and bring it the surface about " away; tug the thread until the knot pulls through the quilt p, burying the knot in the batting. lip the thread close the surface of the quilt.

12 binding aste around the quilt " from the edges. Trim the batting and backing " beyond the edge of the quilt p. To prepare the binding strips, place the ends of binding strips perpendicular each other, right sides gether. Stitch diagonally and trim ". In this way, join all the strips and press the seam allowances open. ut the beginning of the binding strip at a angle. Fold the binding strip in half along the length, wrong sides ¼ gether, and press. Starting in the middle of a side and leaving a " tail of binding loose, align the raw edges of the binding with the edge of the quilt p. egin sewing the binding the quilt using a " seam allowance. Sp " from the first corner; backstitch. Remove the needle from the quilt and cut the threads. Fold the binding up, then back down even with edge of the quilt. egin stitching " from the binding fold, backstitch secure ¼ and continue sewing. Repeat at all corners. When nearing the starting point, leave at least " of the quilt edge unbound and a 0" " binding tail. Smooth the beginning tail over the ending tail. Following the cut edge of the beginning tail, draw a line on the ending tail at a angle. To add seam allowance, draw a cutting line " out from the first line; make sure it guides you cut the binding tail " longer than the first line. ut on this second line. To join the ends, place them right sides gether. Offset the points so the strips match " in from the edge and sew. Press the seam allowances open. Press the section of binding in half and then finish sewing it the quilt. Trim away excess backing and batting in the corners only eliminate bulk. Fold the binding the back of the quilt, enclosing the extra batting and backing. lindstitch the binding fold the backing, just covering the previous line of stitching. ias inding ias binding strips are cut at a angle the grain of the fabric. They are stretchy and therefore ideal for binding curved edges. your first cut by aligning a guideline on your acrylic ruler with the cut edge or selvage of your º fabric. Use this new bias edge cut " strips for binding. Refer inding finish the binding. ¼ ¼ ¼ facing Trim the batting and backing even with the edges of the quilt p. ut the facing strips ½" wide and join end end as you would binding. For the p and botm strips, measure across the quilt width. ut strips this measurement minus ¼". On both strips, fold one long edge under ¼" and press. On the right side of the quilt p, place one strip right side ¼ down at each end of the quilt, matching the ends of the strips the sides of the quilt as shown. Pin. Sew both of the strips the quilt with ¼" seam allowance, beginning at one short end and turning the corner with one diagonal stitch as shown. Turn the second corner in the same way and finish sewing. Lay the side facing strips right sides down on the quilt front sides. Trim the strips so the ends extend " past the folded edge of the p and botm strips. Fold one long edge under ¼" on both strips and press. Sew the side facing strips the quilt with a ¼" seam allowance. arefully trim the bulk from each corner. To make the facing lie flat, sew a line ½ of sharpstitching: first, fold the side facing strip out as shown. eginning about ½" from the corner, sew through all the seam allowances and the facing very close the seam, ending ½" from the next corner. Repeat for all the sides. Turn the facing the back of the quilt and gently push out the corners. Press the facing flat. Sew the facing the quilt back by hand with a blind stitch. sleeve for hanging Sleeve edges can be caught in the seam when you sew the binding the quilt. ut and join enough 9"-wide strips of fabric equal the width of the quilt. Hem the short ends of the sleeve by folding under ½", pressing, then folding and pressing once more; pstitch close the edge of the hem. Fold the sleeve in half lengthwise, wrong sides gether, matching raw edges. enter the sleeve on the back and p of the quilt and baste. Sew the binding the quilt. Once the binding has been sewn, smooth the sleeve against the backing and blindstitch along the botm and along the ends of the sleeve, catching some of the batting in the stitches. ¾ opyright 0 F+W, a content + ecommerce company All rights reserved. quiltmaker.com Quiltmaker is glad grant permission for you display your quilt in quilt shows and use Quiltmaker patterns for charity quilts.
