Information You Need To Know

All fabric requirements are based on 40˝/42˝-wide fabric. The yardage given includes an additional amount to account for fabric shrinkage and individual differences in cutting. A G˝ seam allowance is included on pattern pieces when required. All measurements for pieces, sashing, and borders include G˝ seam allowances. The finished quilt size is the size of the quilt before quilting. Because each quiltmaker usually has a personal preference for a particular type of batting, the type of batting to be used for each quilt will not be listed, unless it is necessary to obtain a specific look. Fabric listed for binding includes yardage for straight-grain binding. Due to variations in materials and equipment, McCall’s Quilting disclaims any liability of untoward results in doing the projects presented. Because McCall’s Quilting has no control over your choice of materials or procedures, neither McCall’s Quilting nor the various manufacturers assume any responsibility for the use of this data.

PLANNING A REPRODUCTION Using the technique of paper foundation piecing allows accurate assembly of each 11-piece arc, assuring that arcs fit the large muslin pieces. The paper remains intact until the other shapes are sewn to the arcs—only then is the paper gently torn away. Pieces do not have to be cut precisely for foundation piecing but cut large enough to trim seam allowances after seams are sewn. Stitch a practice arc to determine exactly how generous your pieces of fabric must be cut.

For this quilt, a design wall or other large surface will prove invaluable when planning each block’s corner fabric arrangement and when assembling the blocks. You may choose to plan out all the block fabric arrangements in advance, using swatches of fabrics on a design wall or you may wish to work block by block, making sure to use matching fabric triangles in adjacent blocks. June cut the floral stripe triangles (bottom row blocks) so the stripe runs horizontally. If you wish to do likewise, cut three of the 5⅞˝ squares along 1 diagonal to make the halfsquare triangles, and cut the remainder along the opposite diagonal. Accurate ¼˝ seams are important to make your “lattice” join up correctly. June used raw edge appliqué for the stems and leaves. We instruct you to do likewise. Purchase more fabric if using a traditional method.
