Hi! I'm Amy aka Sukie from Sukiedontyaknow.com.
Wow. . can you believe it's been a whole year of the Art Gallery Fat Quarter Gang?!?!
Today, I'm showing you my last project for the gang and I'm really excited that it's a quilt! (that's my bread n' butter)
Fabric Requirements:
9 Pure Elements Fat Quarters (*you can get away with using fat eights but these solids are versatile in any project).
The ones I used in the quilt are:
- Cherry Lipgloss
- Crystal Pink
- Mirage Blue
- Parisian Blue
- Light Citron
- Verve Violet
- Cabernet
- Empire Yellow
3 yards of Pure Elements Snow for background
Cuts (repeat 9x):
Each solid needs these cuts:
- (2) 7 1/8 x 7 1/8
- (4) 4 1/2 x 4 1/2
Background:
- (2) 7 1/8 x 7 1/8
- (4) 4 1/2 x 4 1/2
- (1) 12 1/2 x 12 1/2
Block Construction steps:
- Take (1) of the pure elements 7 1/8 x 7 1/8 with a Snow 7 1/8 x 7 1/8, right sides together and sew 1/4 around the block
- Take a ruler and your rotary cutter and measure from one diagonal to the other and cut
- Keeping the square together cut from one diagonal to the other
- Repeat for the other 7 1/8 x 7 1/8 set
- You should have the total of 8 hsts (half square triangles)
- Iron the seams open
Trimming the HST (s):
- Take a square ruler on with 45 degree angle/line on it and align the seam in the center with the 45 degree mark
- Take your rotary cutter and trim off the excess to 4 1/2
- Rotate and trim
- You should have a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2
First row and last row are constructed like so:
4 1/2 x 4 1/2 Snow Block + 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 HST + 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 Solid + 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 HST + 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 Snow Block
(Row 1 pic)
Side row:
4 1/2 x 4 1/2 HST + 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 Solid + 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 HST
(Side Row)
Sew the side rows to the 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 block
Sew the top and the botton on to the block and you should have a block measuring 20 1/2 x 20 1/2
Repeat for the other 8 blocks and you should have a finished quilt top measure 60 x 60
