Hello everyone!

So the end of summer is beginning. I love all seasons, but I have not experienced living through a freezing winter, so I could understand why a lot of people really cherish the warmer weather. One of the good things about warm (let's say no-snow) weather is that one can do many things outdoors.

Bicycling is one of my favourites, and when we released the Cleta collection, we showed you this Bike Lane quilt on the LookBook. I know some time has passed BUT this quilt is still perfect to take to the park and of course it will translate incredibly into the colder seasons.

BICYCLE (A) CONSTRUCTION

G) (8) 6 ½” x 2 ½”, (2) 4 ½” x 2 ½”, (6) 2 ½” x 2 ½”

J)  (2) 4 ½” x 2 ½”

H) (6) 2 ½” x 2 ½”, (2) 4 ½” x 2 ½”, (1) 14 ½” x 2 ½”

I) (1) 6 ½” x 2 ½”

F) All pieces

Step 1:

For the construction of the bicycle top use the following pieces:

Fabric I: (1) 6 ½” x 2 ½”

Fabric H: (2) 4 ½” x 2 ½”, (1) 14 ½” x 2 ½”, (3) 2 ½” x 2 ½”

Fabric F: (1) 8 ½” x 8 ½”, (1) 10 ½” x 8 ½”, (2) 6 ½” x 2 ½”, (1) 8 ½” x 2 ½”, 10 ½” x 2 ½”

Follow the diagram below for fabric placement

Step 2:

Take the following pieces the construction of the bicycle bottom:

Fabric G: (8) 6 ½” x 2 ½”, (2) 4 ½” x 2 ½”, (6) 2 ½” x 2 ½”

Fabric J: (2) 4 ½” x 2 ½”

Fabric H: (3) 2 ½” x 2 ½”

Fabric F: (10) 4 ½” x 2 ½”, (5) 6 ½” x 4 ½”, (6) 2 ½” x 2 ½”, (2) 6 ½” x 2 ½”, (1) 8 ½” x 2 ½”, 10 ½” x 2 ½”, (1) 10 ½” x 2 ½”, (1) 14 ½” x 2 ½”.

Attach the pieces together following the diagram below for pieces arrangement

Step 3:

Attach the top bicycle piece crosswise to the bottom piece.

Take the 34 ½” x 2 ½” strip from fabric F and attach it to the top edge, then attach the 34 ½” x 8 ½” strip from fabric F to the bottom edge.

Now that you’re done with the top and bottom strip attachment take the two 32 ½” x 2 ½” remaining strips from fabric F and attach them to left and right edges.

BICYCLE (B) CONSTRUCTION

D) (8) 6 ½” x 2 ½”, (2) 4 ½” x 2 ½”, (6) 2 ½” x 2 ½”

A) (2) 4 ½” X 2 ½”

C) (6) 2 ½” x 2 ½”, (2) 4 ½” x 2 ½”, (1) 14 ½” x 2 ½”

B) (1) 6 ½” x 2 ½”

E) All pieces

Step 1:

For the construction of the bicycle top use the following pieces:

Fabric B: (1) 6 ½” x 2 ½”

Fabric C: (2) 4 ½” x 2 ½”, (1) 14 ½” x 2 ½”, (3) 2 ½” x 2 ½”

Fabric E: (1) 8 ½” x 8 ½”, (1) 10 ½” x 8 ½”, (2) 6 ½” x 2 ½”, (1) 8 ½” x 2 ½”, 10 ½” x 2 ½”

Follow the diagram below for fabric placement

Step 2:

Take the following pieces the construction of the bicycle bottom:

Fabric D: (8) 6 ½” x 2 ½”, (2) 4 ½” x 2 ½”, (6) 2 ½” x 2 ½”

Fabric A: (2) 4 ½” x 2 ½”

Fabric C: (3) 2 ½” x 2 ½”

Fabric E: (10) 4 ½” x 2 ½”, (5) 6 ½” x 4 ½”, (6) 2 ½” x 2 ½”, (2) 6 ½” x 2 ½”, (1) 8 ½” x 2 ½”, 10 ½” x 2 ½”, (1) 10 ½” x 2 ½”, (1) 14 ½” x 2 ½”.

Attach the pieces together following the diagram below for pieces arrangement

Step 3:

Attach the top bicycle piece crosswise to the bottom piece.

Take the 34 ½” x 2 ½” strip from fabric E and attach it to the top edge, then attach the 34 ½” x 8 ½” strip from fabric E to the bottom edge.

Now that you’re done with the top and bottom strip attachment take the two 32 ½” x 2 ½” remaining strips from fabric E and attach them to left and right edges.

Now that bicycle A & B are done they are ready to be sew them together. Attach Bicycle B on top of bicycle A.

Take all the remaining strips and set them in groups by fabric. Attach each set of strips together to get 77” long strips from each of the fabrics.

You should end up having (2) 1 ½” X 77” strips from fabric B C & D,(1) 2 ½” x 77” strip from fabric F,     (4)1 ½” x 77” and (4) 5 ½” x 77” from fabric K.

Take all the 1 ½” x 77” strips and make two sets of strips attaching them in the following order: DKBKCK

Now take all the remaining strips and stitch them together in the following order: K-set-KFK-set-K

For the final step attach the strips block to the left edge of the bicycles block and you are done with the quilt top 

Quilt and bind as you wish (we used the Ash fabric for our binding, and did an echo quilting motif around each bike).

sew on!
