Which Way is Up I-Spy Mystery Quilt Part 3: Sewing your Focus Fabric |
First I want to start with a review of the fabric and sizes that you should have cut out already. 1. 30 6" square pieces of fabric. These can be I-spy fabric in novelty themes, ABC Charms, or any other fabric you would like to focus on for this quilt. 2. Fabric A: You should have: 60 - 2.25 x 2.25 inch squares. 10 - 4.5 x 2 inch rectangles 4 - 4.5 x 1.25 inch rectangles 3. Fabric B: You should have: 60 - 2.25 x 2.25 inch squares. 10 - 4.5 x 2 inch rectangles 4 - 4.5 x 1.25 inch rectangles 4. Fabric C: You should have: 4 - 2.75 x 18 inch strips 6 - 5.5 x 5.5 inch squares 5. Fabric D: You should have: 4 - 2.75 x 18 inch strips 6 - 5.5 x 5.5 inch squares |
NOW LET'S GET OUR THINGS READY TO SEW |
Using the I-spy fabric, you are going to have 5 rows of 6 pieces across. At this time you will need to roughly figure out the lay-out of your I-spy fabric pieces. |
HINT #1: If you have pieces that can go anywhere, all you will need to do is seperate the pieces into 2 piles. 18 pieces in one pile 12 pieces in the other pile |
HINT #2: If you are using fabric from an ABC swap that needs to be in a special order, this is the time to do that. You will need to put these blocks into 5 rows of 6. You will want to put these in a line labelling each pile 1 - 5. |
NOW let's review what you have and what you need. -You will either have 2 piles of focus fabric or 5 piles labelled 1 - 6. -Fabric A: 60 2.25 x 2.25 inch squares -Fabric B: 60 2.25 x 2.25 inch squares |
