Making Yo-Yos 1. Thread a needle and knot the end. Referring to Diagram 1 and working with the wrong side of the fabric towards you, turn over a scant 4" of the edge of the circle. Insert the needle in the edge of the fabric on the wrong side so the knot will be inside the yo-yo. Sew a basic running stitch around the edge of the circle, turning the edge as you sew. Stop when you reach the starting point. 2. Hold the needle and pull the thread to gather the circle. Tuck the turned edge into the center, keeping the right side of the fabric out as you gather the fabric until you have an almost-closed circle. Don t let the gathers slip as you knot the thread multiple times at the end; trim the threads close to the knots. Fingerpress the yo-yo flat with the hole in the center to finish. Make 12 yo-yos. Completing the Blocks 3. Refer to Diagrams 2 and 3 for piecing both Light and Dark Spinning Pinwheel blocks. 4. To complete one Light Spinning Pinwheel block, join one each fabric E and fabric J triangle on a short side. Press seams toward the J triangle. Sew the E-J unit to a fabric D triangle to complete a block quarter. Repeat to make a total of four block quarters. Join two block quarters to make a row; repeat to make two rows. Press seams toward fabric D triangles in each row. Join the rows to complete one light block. Repeat to make a total of six light blocks. 5. Repeat step 2 with fabrics E, H and C triangles to complete six Dark Spinning Pinwheel blocks. 6. Center and sew a yo-yo to each block with the gathered side up. Quilt Assembly 7. Sew a 1" x 722" fabric I strip and a 2" x 722" fabric G strip to opposite sides of each 52" x 722" fabric A strip to make a vertical strip. Press seams away from the fabric A strip. Repeat to make three vertical strips. 8. Join three each Light and Dark Spinning Pinwheel blocks to make a block row, alternating positioning of blocks. Press seams in one direction. Repeat to make a second block row. 9. Join the two blocks rows with the three vertical strips to complete the quilt center. Press seams away from the block rows. D K E J Diagram 1 Diagram 2 Diagram 3 10. Sew a 22" x 96" fabric F strip between one each 12" x 96" fabric H and fabric L strip and add a 62" x 96" fabric B strip to the L side to make a side border strip. Press seams toward the fabric B strip. Repeat to make a second side border strip. 11. Repeat step 10 with the 75" strips to make two short. 12. Fold the quilt center in half on both length and width; crease to mark centers, then unfold. Fold each border strip in half and crease to mark centers. Aligning folds, stitch the side to opposite long sides and the short to the top and bottom of the pieced center, beginning and ending 4" from corners; miter corners and trim excess fabric. Press seam allowances toward the strips. C E H Page 3 of 5 Free Pattern Download Available at www.andoverfabrics.com 8/12/10
