CUT FABRICS
Cut pieces in the following order.
The patterns are on Pattern Sheet 1.
To make templates of patterns, see
Make & Use Templates, page 98.From solid white, cut:
▫ 128—4×5" rectangles
▫ 128—3" squares
From each solid yellow, red, purple,
dark aqua, orange, dark pink, blue,
and green, cut:
▫ 16—3×5" rectangles
From solid lime green, cut:
▫ 8—2^1 ⁄ 2 ×42" binding strips
▫ 9—2^1 ⁄ 2 " sashing squares
▫ 128—2^1 ⁄ 4 × 61 ⁄ 2 " rectangles
▫ 64 of Large Triangle Pattern
From solid dark turquoise, cut:
▫ 64—2^1 ⁄ 2 × 71 ⁄ 2 " rectangles
From solid turquoise, cut:
▫ 8—4^1 ⁄ 2 ×42" strips for border
▫ 24—2^1 ⁄ 2 × 151 ⁄ 2 " sashing rectangles
▫ 64—2^1 ⁄ 2 × 71 ⁄ 2 " rectangles
From each solid aqua and solid pink,
cut:
▫ 32 of Small Triangle PatternFOUNDATION-PIECE UNITS
Foundation Patterns are on Pattern
Sheet 1.
To foundation-piece, stitch fabric
pieces to a foundation paper with
the marked side of the paper facing
up and the fabric pieces layered
underneath. The resulting pieced unit
is a mirror image of the foundation
paper. For step-by-step instructions,
see Foundation Piecing, page 100.(^1)
Use a pencil to trace each
foundation pattern onto
lightweight tracing paper (or other
foundation material of your choice)
64 times, tracing all lines and numbers.
(Or download the foundation patterns
at AllPeopleQuilt.com/840, and print
64 of each.) Cut out each traced
foundation pattern roughly^1 ⁄ 4 " outside
dashed lines to make 64 of foundation
paper A and 64 of foundation paper B.
(^2)
Gather one foundation paper A,
one solid white 3" square
(position A1), one solid yellow 3×5"
rectangle (position A2), one solid
white 4×5" rectangle (position A3),
one solid lime green 2^1 ⁄ 4 × 61 ⁄ 2 "
rectangle (position A4), and one solid
dark turquoise 2^1 ⁄ 2 × 71 ⁄ 2 " rectangle
(position A5). Working in numerical
order, foundation-piece yellow Unit A
(Diagram 1). Repeat to make 16 yellow
A units total.
(^3)
Using solid red, solid purple, and
solid dark aqua 3×5" rectangles
for position A2, repeat Step 2 to make
16 A units each in red, purple, and dark
aqua.
(^4)
Gather one foundation paper B,
one solid white 3" square
(position B1), one solid orange 3×5"
rectangle (position B2), one solid
white 4×5" rectangle (position B3),
one solid lime green 2^1 ⁄ 4 × 61 ⁄ 2 "
rectangle (position B4), and one
solid turquoise 2^1 ⁄ 2 × 71 ⁄ 2 " rectangle
(position B5). Working in numerical
order, foundation-piece orange Unit B
(Diagram 2). Repeat to make 16
orange B units total.
