project-img

Finished Size: 48″x48″
Designed by Susan Mayer for Clothworks

MATERIALS

Yardages based on 42” wide unwashed fabric. Prewashing fabric may require additional yardage.

 Yardage  Cool Colorway (Warm Colorway)
 ⅓ yd  *AMB 85 Periwinkle (AMB 43 Raspberry)
 ⅓ yd  *AMB 18 Lime (AMB 36 Orange)
 ⅓ yd  *AMB 100 Light Turquoise (AMB 8 Light Yellow)
 ⅓ yd  *AMB 97 Light Sky (AMB 41 Light Pink)
 ⅓ yd  *AMB 102 Dark Turquoise (AMB 17 Light Lime)
 ⅓ yd  +AMB 30 Dark Blue (AMB 81 Dark Tomato)
 ⅓ yd  +AMB 93 Light Navy (AMB 102 Dark Turquoise)
 ⅓ yd  +AMB 53 Navy Blue (AMB 78 Dark Fuchsia)
 ⅓ yd  +AMB 96 Dark Indigo (AMB 79 Light Tomato)
 1 ¼ yd  AMB 31 Royal Blue (AMB 75 Dark Raspberry)
 3 yds  Backing of Choice

CUT THE FABRICS

Cut the Fabrics
WOF = Width of Fabric
LOF = Length of Fabric

From each of the light fabrics marked with * , cut:
1 – 4-7/8” x WOF strip, recut into 4-7/8” squares
1 – 4-1/2” x WOF strip, recut into 4-1/2” squares

From each of the dark fabrics marked with + , cut:
1 – 4-7/8” x WOF strip, cut into 4-7/8” squares

From the Royal Blue cut:
1 – 4-7/8” x WOF strip, cut into 4-7/8” squares
4 – 4-1/2” x WOF strips (inner border)
5 – 2-1/2” x WOF strips (binding)

INSTRUCTIONS

Use 1/4” seam allowances.

Make the Pieced Squares:

  1. On the wrong side of thirty-eight light (*) background 4-7/8” squares, draw a diagonal line (Figure 1). Layer these squares together with a dark ( + ) background square. Use a variety of combinations.
  2. Sew 1/4” away from the line on both sides of the drawn line. Cut apart on the drawn line and press to form 4-1/2” pieced squares.
  3. Make a total of seventy-six pieced squares.

step-1

Quilt Assembly:

Note: You do not need to place each individual fabric in the same place as the cover quilt, as long as you follow the placement of the “darks” and “lights”.

  1. Using Figure 2 as a guide, lay out and sew eight of the pieced squares (from above) together in each of eight horizontal rows. Pay close attention to the placement of the darks and lights as well as the direction of the diagonal seams in each row.
  2. Sew the rows together to make the quilt center.
  3. Measure the width of the quilt through the center from top to bottom. Trim four Royal Blue (Dark Raspberry) 4-1/2” strips to this length. Sew a strip to the left and right sides of the quilt. Press seams toward the border strips.
  4. Sew two of the remaining pieced squares (from above) to each end of the two remaining strips. Press seams toward the long strips. Sew to the top and bottom sides of the quilt.
  5. Sew the remaining eight pieced squares and thirty-six light (*) 4-1/2” squares together for the four outer borders, as shown in the cover picture, to complete your quilt top.
  6. Layer and quilt as desired. Bind and label to finish.

    Although I have sewn all of my life, I only got into quilting after I retired and had time to myself. I just took a beginners quilting class and learned so much. I hope to begin hoarding fat quarters soon. Fabric is so beautiful I cant decide which to buy. Love your tutorials, such a big help. Thanks

    WHO DOESN’T COLLECT FAT QUARTERS??? I have to admit that I collect larger sizes also, as well as smaller sizes as I love to work with patterns that use up my stash. Problem is, the stash never seems to get smaller. Guess I will have to keep quilting.

    LOL. I had to buy a rather large cabinet to hide all my fat quarters and stash in. You can only climb around so many boxes before you’re forced to do something else. Of course that doesn’t stop me from buying more. If I could quilt as fast as I buy fabric, I’d be happy. Not too many years away from retirement and then I’ll quilt nonstop!

    I don’t collect fat quarters. I am an old school quilter and therefore mainly make quilts from recycled fabric or fabric that I am able to collect from garage sales or from people who just give away fabric that was collected by an older family member. Although I must say, one of the prettiest baby quilts I’ve made was from a discounted layer cake collection of fabrics from Walmart. It was so simple piecing the quilt because ‘someone’ had already matched beautiful fabrics for me. I would be excited to receive some fat quarters. After all, I quilt, so therefor fabric excites me!

    I absolutely love the two quilt patterns. As soon as I can find enough FQ’s to make them I will be doing just that! I have 14 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren – they certainly keep me busy. I have made 5 quilts this year and in the process of gathering FQ’s to make a quilt for my oldest daughter. FQ’s and jelly rolls are my fav. God Bless.

    Of course I collect them – although not intentionally. They always give me good ideas when I look at them, so I buy them. SOMEDAY, I will use some of them – I hope! Sewing and quilting are my treats for getting my work done (housework, gardening, taking care of our 100 some Boer goats and a few Fainting goats). Have to do some work, then I get to sew. Love FQs because I can have lots of choices for a small amount of money!

    I don’t exactly collect them but do buy them frequently if they go with a project that I am working on or want to make. Usually they cost a little more than if you buy a whole yard and divide it by four so if I want to put some in my stash, I purchase a yard.

    No, I don’t collect them. I mostly use scraps, and when I DO get fat quarters, I just use them along with everything else. I must admit, though, that there is something a little bit magical about that perfectly folded little square, that makes it very tempting to collect and not cut… 🙂

    This is embarrassing but I never even heard of fat quarters before reading your blog. I now find myself better educated.

    I don’t collect FQ as such,, I mean that I buy Fat quarters, but put them to use readily., The way I collect them is to put them to good use. I love making scrappy quilts, and FQ is the best way to add variety to my quilts. My problem is that in making a quilt I always manage to create more scraps. They seem to multiply so quickly!

    I like to collect fat quarters from different shops of places we travel. When I use them to make a quilt I can think back to these special places and shops.

    I don’t collect them for collecting sake. However, I love to buy them for projects. They are so much more versatile than a standard quarter yard.

    I do not collect fat quaters because it cost a lot in my country. I have a good sense of color and collect fabrics by yardage
