APPLIQUÉ
1. Using the paper patterns provided and template plastic,
make templates for the large flower, small flower, leaf, large
flower centre, and small flower centre shapes. Please note
that the patterns are not reversed and do not include seam
allowances. Repeat this procedure to make a template for
the trimming triangle making sure that the triangle measures
7¼” on each short side.
2. Prepare the following motifs as necessary for your preferred
method of appliqué: 15 x Fabric D large flowers, 45 x Fabric
D small flowers, 45 x Fabric B small flowers, 60 x Fabric A
leaves, 15 x Fabric E large flower centres, 90 x Fabric E small
flower centres.
3. Appliqué a large flower centre to the centre of each large
flower and a small flower centre to the centre of each small
flower.
4. Using the quilts pictured as a guide, arrange 1 x large flower
unit, 3 x Fabric D small flower units, 3 x Fabric B small flower
units, and 4 x Fabric A leaves onto a 9½” Fabric C square,
with the appliqué contents centered in the square. Appliqué
motifs to background square using method of choice. Repeat
to make a total of 15 x appliqué blocks.
BLOCKS
5. Fold each 1¼” Fabric A and Fabric B strip in half crosswise to
mark the centre point. Matching centre points, stitch a 1¼”
x 9” Fabric B strip to a 1¼” x 10½” Fabric A strip. Repeat
this procedure to add one each of the following strips to the
top of this unit in order: 1¼” x 7½” Fabric A strip, 1¼” x 6”
Fabric B strip, 1¼” x 4½” Fabric A strip, 1¼” x 3” Fabric B
strip
6. Lay the trimming triangle template even with the bottom edge
of the strip set making sure to line up the centre points. Cut
one corner triangle as shown. Repeat to make a total of 4
corner triangles. To prevent stretching, stitch 1 / 8 ” in from the
outer edge all the way around each triangle.
7. Matching the centre points of the triangles to the centre
points of the background square, sew triangle units from
step 2 to opposite sides of an appliqué square. Sew the
remaining triangle units to the remaining sides of the square
to complete one block.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 to make a total of 15 blocks.
QUILT TOP
9. Arrange the blocks into 3 vertical rows with 5 blocks in each
row. Stitch the blocks into rows. If necessary, adjust the
seams so that all three block rows are the same length.
10. Trim selvedges from 2” Fabric E strips. Sew strips together
end to end to make a long 2” strip. From this long strip,
cut 6 x 64¼” and 2 x 56½” lengths (if your measurements
are different, cut to fit your quilt top). Sew the longer strips
to the left and right sides of each of the 3 block rows.
Matching centre points, stitch block row units and 5” wide
Fabric B lengthwise cut strips together, alternating the two
types of units. Trim the ends of Fabric B strips even with the
block row units. Stitch the 2” x 56½” Fabric E strips to top
and bottom of quilt top.
BORDERS
11. Trim selvedges from 2½” Fabric F strips and sew the strips
together end to end to make a long 2½” strip. From this
long strip, cut 2 x 67¼” and 2 x 60½” lengths (if your
measurements are different, cut to fit your quilt top). Sew
the longer strips to the left and right sides of the quilt top
and the shorter strips to the top and bottom.
12. Trim selvedges from 6½” Fabric G strips and sew the strips
together end to end to make a long 6½” strip. From this
long strip, cut 2 x 72½” and 2 x 71¼” lengths (if your
measurements are different, cut to fit your quilt top). Sew
shorter strips to left and right sides of the quilt top. Sew
longer strips to the top and bottom.
13. Trim selvedges from 3½” Fabric D strips and sew the strips
together end to end to make a long 3½” strip. From this
long strip, cut 2 x 83¼” and 2 x 78½” lengths (if your
measurements are different, cut to fit your quilt top). Sew
longer pieces to left and right sides of the quilt top. Sew
shorter strips to the top and bottom.
TO FINISH
