Drafting for the Creative Quilter

BACKGROUND
PREPARATION

1. Trace the sectioned circle pattern
   (below) onto a plain piece of paper
   and cut out.


2. Cut a square of background
   fabric exactly 18 ̋ square. This is
   larger than what you need; you will
   trim it later.


3. Find the midpoint of each
   side (9 ̋) and draw a vertical and
   horizontal line to connect those
   midpoints. This identifies the center
   and divides the square into quarters.

4. Place the sectioned circle pattern on the fabric square by pinning through
   the paper center and into the center of the fabric. Do this on a rotary mat
   or a piece of cardboard. Keeping the centers matched with the pin, swivel
   the paper circle so the horizontal and vertical lines of the paper match the 4
   lines marked on the fabric. Use removable tape to attach the paper circle to
   the fabric.

SECTIONED CIRCLE PATTERN

uuu Noteworthy uuu

I used a white Clover pen, which can be removed later with the heat of an

iron but which will remain clear as you work. You must be able to see all

the marked lines on the fabric for accurate placement of all the squares.

If you are working on a white fabric, mark with a product you can see

but can be removed later. Do not use a chalker, as it will brush away as

you work.
