Quilt size 38" x 58"
Created by Joy-Lynn Cole ©
Yardage Requirements:
1 panel
1/3 yard for adjusting inner border
6-8 fat quarters for crazy pieced border
Piece 2 strips to measure 7 1/2 x 40" for top & bottom, and piece 2 pieces at 7 1/2 x 48" for the sides.
(Muslin will be trimmed to 6 1/2 x 46 1/2 for the sides after piecing.)
If you are planning a larger quilt with additional borders (patterns attached) you will need approximately 8 fat quarters for the second border and approximately 8 fat quarters for the third border.
The first border is an adjusting border. After straightening the center panel, cut border strips so the quilt will measure 26 1/2 x 46 1/2". Simply measure your squared up center panel, subtract your measurements from 26 1/2 x 46 1/2", divide by 2 and add 1/2" to each measurement. The answer will give you your required strip measurements for the adjusting border, including your seam allowance. Please see the example. After adding your adjusting border to your panel, measure the length and width, which should measure 26 1/2 x 46 1/2". You are now ready to add the second border.
Cutting directions for the crazy pieced border
Cut all fat quarters in assorted strip sizes. Starting in the middle at an angle, put one piece facing up, and the second piece on top with right sides together. Sew and trim seam allowance to 1/4". Add the next piece at a little different angle, sew and trim seam. See diagram below. Continue this process until all of the muslin is covered. It will look sloppy with uneven edges. Press as you go to make sewing easier. Turn over face down and trim. Top & bottom 6 1/2 x 38 1/2". Trim sides to 6 1/2 x 46 1/2". Sew both sides on to the quilt top before adding the top and bottom sections.
