You need 4 or 5 fabrics, a background and three contrasts.
Here are mine:
WOF Quantities are: (I have been generous)
You need 1.10m. of background which will be cut into triangles and squares. However you can have two different fabrics if you prefer in which case you need 90 cms for the triangles and 40 cms for the squares.
Background triangles and squares - can be the same or different |
(For a smaller 32.5 x 45 quilt the WOF quanties are 70cms background and Fabric 1 and 25 cms of Fabrics 2 and 3)
If you want to check whether you have enough fabric these are the units you need to cut from each fabric so you can make your own more economical calculations if you prefer.
From the background:
Two 18.5" squares cut twice diagonally to yield six QSTs. Note you only need half of the second square.
Two 14.5" squares cut once diagonally to yield four HSTs.
Eight 6.5" squares
I show a cutting plan below:
Background cutting layout |
Four 2.5" WOF strips
Seventeen 6.5" squares - you should get 6 per WOF 6.5" strip
Fabric 1 cut pieces |
Four 2.5" WOF strips
Fabrics 2 & 3 strips |
Once you have completed cutting prepare an aide memoire to help you keep on track as you follow the clues.
