Quilt Layout

9. Following the Quilt Layout diagram for Fabric A placement and orientation, arrange the Windmill Blocks, assorted 41⁄2” (11.43cm) squares, and Pinwheel Blocks into 15 rows of 10 units each. Feel free to shuffle or even cut additional 41⁄2” (11.43cm) squares from remaining yardage to substitute in and create your desired look.

10. Stitch the units together in each row. Press seams in alternate directions per row. Stitch the rows together.

Press all seams in same direction.

Finishing 11. Sew together the (6) 21⁄2” x WOF (6.35cm x WOF) Fabric A binding strips end to end using diagonal seams. Press the seams open. Press the binding strip in half wrong sides together.

12. Layer the backing (wrong side up), batting, and quilt top (right side up). Baste the layers together and quilt as desired. Trim excess batting and backing even with the top after quilting is completed.

13. Leaving an 8” (20.32cm) tail of binding, sew binding to top of quilt through all layers matching all raw edges. Miter corners. Stop approximately 12” (30.48cm) from where you started. Lay both loose ends of binding flat along quilt edge. Where these two loose ends meet, fold them back on themselves and press to form a crease. Using this crease as your stitching line, sew the two open ends of the binding together right sides together. Trim seam to 1 ⁄4” (.64cm) and press open. Finish sewing binding to quilt.

14. Turn the binding to the back of quilt and hand-stitch in place.
