Australian Homespun – August 2019

Diagram 2

Leutenegger’s Betty’s

Pantry Restocked range –

reproduction fabrics inspired

by those used in an antique

quilt owned by Deirdre.

She has used Hugs ’n Kisses

appliqué paper. It is left

behind the shapes as they are

stitched to the background

and breaks down when the

quilt is washed. You may use

other appliqué methods if

you wish. Instructions are

provided for using the printed

Pattern Sheet in the magazine,

but you can also download

the digital patterns from

http://www.homespun.net.au

and print them out.

LAYER CAKE BLOCKS

10

To make one Layer Cake block,

choose four different fabrics

from your assorted prints:

• from fabric #1, you will need four
  A half-square triangles and four B
  quarter-square triangles


• from fabric #2, you will need four C
  rectangles and one large icing circle


• from fabric #3, you will need four
  C rectangles, four D rectangles and
  one large cookie circle


• from fabric #4, you will need one
  E square


• from the solid cream fabric, you
  will need eight F rectangles.

11

Lay out a fabric #2 C rectangle,

a fabric #3 C and D rectangle,

and two cream F rectangles as

shown in Diagram 1. Sew the

patchestogethertomakea unit

thatshouldmeasure 61 ⁄ 2 in square

from raw edge to raw edge.

12

Repeat Step 11 to make a total

of four units all exactly the same.

13

Lay out two units, the E square

and two A triangles as shown
