Construction
Strip Sets – Make 8
Each strip set requires 2 Fabric 1 strips and 1 each of Fabrics 2, 3 and 4.
Stitch strips in the following order – Fabric 1, 2, 3, 4 and 1. Make 8 strip sets.
Press seams in one direction. See diagram.
From the 8 strip sets cut 16-41/2"x 81/2" segments and 24-81/2"x 81/2" segments.
Quilter’s Basics
Read instructions before beginning a project. • All instructions include a ¼" seam allowance. • Press as you go. Fabric 1 – 2"xWOF
Fabric 2 – 2"xWOF
• Press seams in one direction. • 22" measurement is approximate. • WOF = Width of Fabric
