before starting the project.
It is recommended that
fabrics for the quilt top be
100% cotton, pre-washed
and well ironed. Requirements
are based on fabric 107cm
(42in) wide. Marilyn mainly
used 1930s reproduction
prints for her quilt and chose
to fussy cut some individual
motifs for the hexagons.The quilt centre panel is
hand pieced, although if
you prefer, it could be
constructed using English
paper piecing – adapt
the instructions to suit.
Instructions are provided
for using the printed Pattern
Sheet in the magazine, but
you can also download the
digital patterns from

and print them out.06
