Cutting diagram for the strip sets<br />
Sew units 8 and 9 together and then sew rickrack<br />
over the seam.<br />
Sew units 1⁄2 to the top of the quilt.<br />
So here’s how to sew it together!<br />
Note: If you’re using rickrack trim, press<br />
the joining seams open. If you’re not<br />
using the rickrack trim, press seams to<br />
one side.<br />
Using the diagram on the left as a<br />
guide, sew Unit 1 to Unit 2.<br />
Cut an 8” piece of rickrack and pin it<br />
on top of the seam. With thread that<br />
matches the rickrack, stitch close to<br />
each edge, using a slightly longer<br />
stitch than normal. I felt it would be<br />
better to have this double line of<br />
stitching so the rickrack trim would<br />
stay flat. Trim excess rickrack.<br />
Sew Unit 5 to Unit 6. Sew a 31” piece<br />
of rickrack over the seam, using a<br />
double stitching line.<br />
Sew Unit 4 to Units 5⁄6 using a partial<br />
seam. Start sewing at the top and<br />
sew about half-way down the strip<br />
sets. Press the sewn part of the seam<br />
open.<br />
Cut a 40” piece of rickrack and sew<br />
over the completed part of the seam,<br />
leaving the excess rickrack hanging<br />
loose.<br />
Sew Unit 3 to the top of Units 4/5/6.<br />
Sew a piece of rickrack over this seam.<br />
Sew Unit 7 to the right hand side.<br />
Sew rickrack over the seam.<br />
Sew Units 8 and 9 together. Sew<br />
rickrack over the seam.<br />
Sew Units 8/9 to Units 5/6/7. Sew<br />
rickrack over the seam.<br />
Finish sewing the partial seam. Finish<br />
sewing the rickrack over the partial<br />
seam. Sew Units 1⁄2 to the top of the<br />
quilt. Sew rickrack over the seam.<br />
Your modern baby quilt is ready to be quilted!<br />
