1 Ladybug Quilt Pattern Over-all Size 71 x 89 Twin Size Quilt Be sure to read ALL instructions completely BEFORE cutting material... Fabric Yardage: The estimate for this fabric assumes that long strips ARE pieced. This yardage chart shows the fabrics needed for this quilt. 1-7/8 yards (Border #2 and Ladybugs) Page 1 of 5

2 2-3/4 yards (Center Panel and Border #3) 3/4 yards (Border #1 and Applique Bugs) 2-3/8 yards (Border #4 and Border #5) 3/8 yard (Applique Bugs) This is a twin size quilt and finishes out approximately 71" x 89". This quilt is really simple to make and can be done in a week-end. It is made from a center panel which makes it very fast to assemble. What s so unique with a panel is you can create a beautiful quilt by simply adding borders as I have done with this Ladybug Quilt Top! This particular quilt is designed around a panel that must measure 36-1/2 x 48-1/2 inches unfinished. If you do not have a table large enough to accommodate a piece of fabric this size, there is an alternative. Cut 12 blocks of fabric 12-1/2 x 12-1/2 and sew them together in rows then sew the rows together to form the center panel. Assuming your panel equals 36-1/2 x 48-1/2 you can follow these directions to finish your quilt. Page 2 of 5

3 Ladybug Pattern You Will Need (6) 12-inch applique ladybugs. Many would agree this would be easier to make 12-inch blocks and sew the blocks together, or place the applique bugs onto a 36-1/2 x 48-1/2 inch plain panel and place the applique bugs sporadically. Either way is OK as long as the finished piece measures 36-1/2 x 48-1/2. In case you need to be refreshed on the 'Heat n Bond' directions here are some simple steps to follow: Trace all applique pieces to Heat n Bond smooth side (not the glue side) using a light box or a sunny window. Preheat iron to medium heat, NO STEAM setting. Place traced design on back of material to be bonded (paper liner should face up, adhesive side down). Place and hold iron on the paper liner for 2 seconds. Repeat until entire surface is bonded. ALLOW to cool before handling. Cut out the shapes. Peel off paper liner Place material, adhesive side down, on top of project. Press and hold iron for 6-10 seconds on each section until entire piece is bonded to quilt block. Times listed above are for cotton. Iron thick fabrics an additional 2 seconds from the back of the project. Applique these blocks before sewing into rows using a blanket stitch or a satin stitch.

4 Tip for Sewing Borders: example) Sew your border strips into one long strip, mitering the joins. (See Border #1: From Black fabric cut 5 strips 2-1/2 wide by WOF Cut 2 strips 48-1/2 long and sew to long sides of center panel. Cut 2 strips 40-1/2 long and sew to top and bottom. Border #2: From Ladybug Red Dot fabric cut 6 strips 6 wide by WOF Cut 2 strips 52-1/2 long and sew to long sides of center panel. Cut 2 strips 51-1/2 long and sew to top and bottom. Border #3: From Tone On Tone Dots White/White fabric cut 7 strips 4-1/2 wide by WOF Cut 2 strips 63-1/2 long and sew to long sides of center panel. Cut 2 strips 59-1/2 long and sew to top and bottom.

Binding You will need 3/4 yard of Red Print fabric. Remove the selvage. Cut 9 strips 2-1/2 wide by the WOF. Sew the strips together end-to-end with a diagonal seam.

5 Backing You will need 5 yards of Tone on Tone Gray fabric (42 WOF). Remove the selvage. For vertical piecing, cut 2 pieces 97 long by the WOF. Sew the pieces together along the long edges with a 1/2 seam (for backing only). Press seams open, then trim the width to 79. When finished, the backing should measure 79 wide by 97 long. Binding You will need 3/4 yard of Red Print fabric. Remove the selvage. Cut 9 strips 2-1/2 wide by the WOF. Sew the strips together end-to-end with a diagonal seam. Fold binding strip lengthwise with wrong sides together. Press using an up and down motion making sure you do not stretch the binding by pulling the iron back and forth over the fabric. Also, don't let a long length of binding hang over the edge of your ironing board, as the weight will stretch it. Page 5 of 5
