ASSEMBLING THE QUILT

25

Piece the quilt one row at a time, as outlined in the following steps. Refer to the Layout Diagram throughout the piecing for fabric placement.

26

Arrange the thirty four Template 2 triangles for Row 1. Join the triangles in pairs, then join the pairs together until the row is complete.

27

Repeat step 26 to piece all the triangles for Row 11.

28

Arrange a Template 2 Fabric A, M, O and P triangle for Row 2, as shown on the previous page, to make the first pieced triangle for Row 2. Sew the top three triangles in one row, then join the remaining triangle to the bottom (Fig 2).

29

Sew the remaining Row 2 pieced triangles as in step 28. Join the pieced triangles with the Template 1 triangles in one row. Join a Fabric O Template 2 triangle to the right end of the row, aligning with the top edge.

30

Piece each of Rows 3–10 together as you did for Row 2, sewing the pieced triangles first, and then joining into rows with the larger triangles.

TVLayout Diagram 31

Join the rows in order, matching points and pressing seams open.

32

Press the quilt top well, then trim to 70in x 74in. Trim evenly from each side, approx ºin outside the triangle points.

QUILTING AND FINISHING

33

Cut the backing fabric in half across the width. Remove the selvedges and sew the two pieces together using a Ωin seam. Press the seam open.

34

Press the quilt top and backing well. Make a quilt sandwich by placing the backing fabric right side down, the batting on top, then place the quilt top centrally and right side up. Baste the layers together using your preferred method.

35

Quilt as desired. Art Gallery Fabrics quilted a wavy free-motion design across the quilt, echoing the organic patterns from the Terra Kotta collection. Trim off the excess batting and backing fabric and square up the quilt.

36

Sew the binding strips together end-to-end using diagonal seams. Press the seams open and trim away the dog ears. Fold in half lengthways, wrong sides together, and press.

37

Sew the binding to the right side of the quilt, creating a neat mitre at each corner. Fold the binding over to the back of the quilt and hand stitch in place around the edge to finish.
