Lining up strips of fabric easily<br />
for a modern baby quilt<br />
Use the lines on your ruler to help you straighten<br />
the edge of the strip set.<br />
Cutting diagram for the strip sets<br />
A sneak peek at the Modern baby quilt made with Northcott’s Cosmic Fusion fabrics<br />
Straighten one edge of the strip set. I like to use one or more of the lines<br />
on my ruler as additional guides to make sure the edge is really straight.<br />
Just align the line on your ruler with one of the seams before cutting.<br />
Use the diagram as a cutting guide to cut your strip sets into units. Pay<br />
careful attention to the orientation of the strips in each strip set. You may<br />
have to add 1 or 2 more strips if your strip sets aren’t long enough.<br />
Once the units are all cut out, it’s a good idea to put them on a design wall<br />
or on the floor, so you can check the overall design. Try to avoid having 2<br />
identical fabrics next to each other. Sometimes you can just turn a strip,<br />
end for end, to avoid having this happen.<br />
Here are my units on the design wall, all ready to sew.<br />
I love working with this Cosmic Fusion fabric! Northcott fabric is always<br />
excellent quality and the width is usually a full 44”.<br />
Here are my units on the design wall, all ready to sew.<br />
