Sewing the panel sections back together Now that the sashing has been sewn to the one side of the panel, the other side of the panel must be attached to the sashing. This can get tricky when the pieces are not square. TIP To make sure that they line up correctly, use a fabric marker to mark a ¼” line from the edge of the sashing and a ¼” up from the edge of the panel. The intersecting point will be used for pinning. Put these two pieces of fabric right side together and insert a pin so that it goes through the intersection point on both the sashing and the panel and then pin the two pieces together and sew. Insert a pin at the intersecting point Marking the ¼” seam Mark the same two lines on the second piece of the panel, ¼” from the edge and from the bottom. Even though the bottom edges of the City Scene panel will match up when the sashing is added, the side seams will not and will be trimmed off after all of the sashing strips have been added.

Continue to slice, and add sashing strips across the panel on different angles. I chose to add four sashing strips, but you can add as many as you’d like! Once you finish with this step, trim the top and bottom of the panel straight and then measure your pieced rows and trim the panel so that it’s this exact width. Write down this measurement as you’ll be cutting all of the remaining strips of fabric for the lap quilt this same size. Repeat this same process using fabric #21874-64, except that you’ll be sewing the 4” wide strip to the top and the 5” wide strip to the bottom. The final ColorWorks sashing strip is sewn to the top of these rows and then this entire section is sewn to the bottom of the panel. Below is how the finished quilt top looks. The panel with sashing strips From fabric #21879-63 cut one strip 4” wide across the width of fabric and one strip 5” wide. Trim them to the same length as the pieced rows. Cut the six remaining ColorWorks sashing strips the same length as the other strips. Sew one sashing strip to the top and bottom of one of the pieced rows and then sew the 4” strip of fabric #21879-63 to the bottom and the 5” wide strip to the top. Sew another ColorWorks strip to the bottom of these rows and then sew this entire section to the top of the panel. The finished quilt top This finished top measures approximately 42” x 65”. A good lap sized quilt. If you wanted to make it bigger, just add an inner border of the ColorWorks gray (cut at 2½” wide) and then add an outer border of one of the coordinating fabrics (cut at 6” wide). This would result in a quilt that is 57” x 80”! Use the remaining ColorWorks gray fabric to make binding that is 2½” wide. Artisan Spirit City Scene This City Scene fabric is so beautiful and I just love the finished quilt! We are planning a trip to New York City this fall and using this fabric has got me even more excited!
