Cutting Instructions
Cutting amounts are given for both quilt sizes. The amounts
in parentheses are for the 77 1 /8" x 77 1 /8" quilt.
Cutting the Focus Fabric
Study the focus fabric, notice how the pattern on the focus
fabric repeats both across and down the fabric. Choose the
symmetrical design you prefer. Cut 24 (60) identical pieces
from the fabric, using template A.
Using template A, draw a portion of the design of the fabric
directly onto the template. This will be a guide for cutting all
the pieces exactly the same. Align the template over the
design and make sure that the center line of the template is
directly over the center line of the symmetrical pattern. Cut
around the template. Label this piece A.
Place template E over template A matching the mirror lines
and outside edges. Transfer the fabric design markings and
onto template E. This will ensure that the pieces cut from
Template E will match the pieces of designs cut from
Template A. Cut 8 (12) identical pieces using Template E.
Repeat for Template E (r).
centered motif is at the halfway mark for an accurate
mitered border.
Repeat with the wide border. Cut four LENGTHWISE strips
each 5 ¾” x 70” (5 ¾” x 90”). Make sure a centered motif
is at the halfway mark for an accurate mitered border.
Cutting the Middle Border
From fabric F cut 4 strips 2” x 54” (2” x 72”.)
Making Unit D
Use Fabric E, the border fabric to make Unit D pieces. Cut
32 (72) pieces from the narrow border strip using
Templates D as illustrated. Repeat using Template D(r).
Label unit as Unit D and Unit D(r).

numbers shown on Template B. Use Figure 3
fabric B for #1. Use fabric C for #2 and Unit B

Unit B.
Sewing the Blocks
One basic block is used to make the quilt but three different
styles are used to complete the quilt: (as shown in figure 3) a
full block as shown in figure 3, a side block, and a corner
block.

Cutting the Center Square
Use template C to cut 5 (13) pieces from fabric D. Label this
piece as Unit C. Use template F and cut 8 (12) pieces from
fabric D. Label as Unit F.
Cutting the borders
From the narrow border of fabric E, cut four LENGTHWISE
strips each 2 5/8” x 55” (2 5/8” x 75”), making sure a

Jinny’s Method for Framing a Square Quilt with a Border Print
1. Place one narrow (inner) border strip across the middle
of the quilt, centering a mirror-imaged motif from the
narrow border at the exact center of the quilt. Use a
right-angle, 45˚ triangle to mark the miter along one end
of the strip, positioning triangle at the edge of the quilt
as indicated in Figure #11 (see arrow). Cutting where the
arrow indicates, at the exact edge of the quilt top, allows
for the seam allowance. Mark, then cut the miter.
2. Carefully pick up the mitered edge of the border strip and
bring it over to the other end of the border strip at the
opposite side of the quilt, making sure that the design
matches. Upon centering a motif from the border print in
the middle of the quilt, the design should match at the
edges.
3. Using the first mitered strip as a pattern, place it on the
remaining three narrow border strips, matching the
design exactly. Cut three more identical strips.
4. Sew the inner borders to the edges of the quilt. Begin by
pinning the midpoint (precisely at a mirror image) of one
of the border pieces to the middle of one of the edges
of the quilt. Next, pin the corners. Then find the midpoint
of each half and pin. Continue finding midpoints and
pinning. Finally, ease in any fullness, pinning
carefully all along the edges. Sew all four inner border
strips to the quilt, stopping short of the 1/4" seam
allowance where the miters will meet. Sew the miters into
a Y-seam last.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the middle and outer
borders.
6. Finish the quilt by layering the backing, batting and quilt
top; baste.
7. Quilt, bind and finish as desired.
