45

Sew the two 1^11 ⁄ 2 x29^1 ⁄ 2 in strips

of taupe print fabric to the left

and right edges of the quilt centre.

Press seams outwards. Then join the

two 1^1 ⁄ 2 x21^1 ⁄ 2 in strips to the top and

bottom edges and press. Your quilt

should measure 31^1 ⁄ 2 x21^1 ⁄ 2 in, from

raw edge to raw edge.

Sew the two 1^1 ⁄ 2 x31^1 ⁄ 2 in strips

of brown check print fabric to

the left and right edges of the quilt.

Press. Then join the two 1^1 ⁄ 2 x23^1 ⁄ 2 in

strips to the top and bottom edges

and press as before. Your quilt should

now measure 33^1 ⁄ 2 x23^1 ⁄ 2 in from raw

edge to raw edge.

Repeat Step 45 using the 1^1 ⁄ 2

x33^1 ⁄ 2 in and the 1^1 ⁄ 2 x25^1 ⁄ 2 in

strips of taupe print fabric to add

Border 3 to the quilt. It should now

measure 35^1 ⁄ 2 x25^1 ⁄ 2 in from raw edge

to raw edge.
