2 x different 100% cotton fabrics, with the suggested combination of colours and prints below. If using fabric off a bolt you will need:
(A) Feature fabric - 25cm - can be used for both “features” or add 20cm of another “feature” fabric for the smaller rectangles.
(B) Sashing fabric - 10cm.
Tips before you start
- Pre-wash and press your fabric before you start to avoid shrinkage. Follow the care instructions for your chosen fabric.
- Press using a pressing cloth to prevent damaging your fabric. Test your iron settings on a scrap piece of fabric before you start your project.
Step 1: Cut the Pieces
Fabric (A) Cut two pieces of 7 ½” x 6”, and two pieces of 4 ½” x 6”.
Fabric (B) Cut two pieces of 1 ½” x 6” and one piece of 1 ½” x 12 ½”.
Step 2: Assembling the Block
Place the fabric cuts into the formation below:
Sew the top three pieces together with a ¼” seam allowance
Sew the top row to the long piece of sashing (fabric B) and then sew the bottom row to the other side of the long sashing strip (according to the diagram below).
Trim the block to 12 ½” x 12 ½”.
