Traditional Patchwork Quilt Pattern and Tutorial (Part 14)

Here are the instructions for the sashing. Enjoy!

You will need:

Twenty dark 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ squares.

Thirty one white 2 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ rectangles.

Lay out your blocks and sashing pieces in their final positions for the finished quilt.

cimg1994

Sew white rectangles to the sides of the blocks to complete four rows like this. Press seams towards the sashing.

cimg1993

Next, make the sashing rows with the dark squares. Sew dark squares to five white rectangles. I prefer to chain sew to save time and thread. Press seams towards the rectangles.

cimg1995

You should now have five of these.

cimg1997

Sew a dark square to each of the other ends of these five rectangles.

cimg1996

Now sew alternately a white rectangle then a dark square until each piece has four dark squares and three white rectangles. Here are mine after three dark squares. Keep going to finish.

cimg2000

Lay these strips in place.

cimg2001

Now sew the rows together. I prefer to sew together the first and second rows and then sew together the third and fourth rows and so on until I have pairs of rows. Then I sew together the pairs of rows.That way, I am only working with a large quilt top in the machine for one seam.

Here is my finished quilt top.

Traditional Patchwork Quilt Pattern and Tutorial (Part 5)

Here is the fourth block from a series of 12. The finished size when the block is sewn into the quilt top is 12 inches square. Enjoy!

You will need:

One white 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ square

Two light 4 7/8″ x 4 7/8″ squares

Four medium 4 7/8″ x 4 7/8″ squares

Two white 4 7/8″ squares

Here are my patches.

cimg1889

First make the half square triangles. Start with the two white and two medium 4 7/8″ squares. Lay each of the white squares onto a medium square.

Also, use two light and two medium 4 7/8″ squares. Lay each of the light squares onto a medium square.

cimg1890

Draw the diagonal lines.

cimg1891

Sew one quarter of an inch away from both sides of the lines.

cimg1892

Cut along the lines to get 8 half square triangles.

cimg1893

cimg1894

Sew together to make three rows. My top and bottom rows have the seams pressed towards the centre. My middle row has the seams pressed away from the centre. As long as you alternate the rows as you press, the seams will butt up against each other when you sew and match up points.
