Here’s my little cheat sheet that I pinned up to the wall in front of where I sew.
This pattern is all typed up as a Word document and I’m having to retype it all in segments for the blog because I can’t cut/paste. If you see anything that doesn’t look right, please ask me before cutting your fabric. I’m checking and double checking . . I know the pattern is correct but I’m trying to be careful as I re-type everything here.
Cutting Instructions:
Border Fabric:
3 – 2-1/2″ strips (A)
Background Fabric:
3 – 1-1/2″ strips (B)
2 – 2-1/2″ strips (C)
Accent Fabric:
2 – 1-1/2″ strips (D)
Sewing Instructions:
1. Sew a 2-1/2″ border fabric strip (A) to a 1-1/2″ background strip (B). Make 3 strip sets. Press seam allowance towards border fabric. Cut into 34 – 2-1/2″ segments.
2. Sew a 2-1/2″ background strip (C) to a 1-1-/2″ accent strip (D). Make 2 strip sets. Press seam allowance towards accent fabric. Cut into 34 – 1-1/2″ segments.
3. Sew a segment from Step 2 to a segment from Step 1. Press seam allowance towards the unit from Step 1. Make 34.

What a great idea for all projects! I inevitably get myself confused when I use sticky notes — they just don’t stick!

Thanks, Judy. I’m printing this, but won’t be able to concentrate and get going for a day or two — plaster dust all over everything from the working guys, so I need to get some serious housecleaning tended to.

Judy, Why don’t you same your Word document as a PDF and then link it so we can just down load the pdf to our computers?
Carolyn Thomas/Silkquilter01 says
Whoops,… that was supposed to be SAVE document as PDF. Actually what you do is PRINT as PDF.

I’m starting this project with you Judy – my first quilt for an hour with you. Anybody else overseas starting this project? My sister in Montana is starting too – we are both excited to do this with you.
