Step 1: Choose fabrics
Select a wonderful mid to large scale multicolored print (MP). Coordinate with
a small scale print (SP) that has a similar theme and colors of MP (both MP and
SP are prints with similar background and dominant colors). Now choose two of
the colors in the prints that please you the most (A1 and A2). Find tone-on-tone
or textured prints in contrasting values of these accent colors. A2 will be
used for binding the finished quilt.
You will need:
| | MP | |
2 yards |
| | SP | |
3 ½ yards |
| | A1 | |
1 yard |
| | A2 | |
2 ½ yards |
Step 2: Make 9-patches from A1 and A2, 4(A1) + 5(A2)
 |
|
Cut 1 ½" wide strips, 4 of A1, 5 of A2
Sew 2 sets A2 + A1 + A2, 1 set A1 + A2 + A1
Crosscut all sets into 1 ½" subunits
Join into 9-patch blocks, finishing 3 ½" raw edge to raw edge
(You will need a minimum of 21 9-Patches for this quilt.)
