Patchwork Quilt Patterns: The Famous Ruby McKim Book Plus A Bonus Of
105 Vintage Patterns.
What to do:
1. Wash and iron all fabrics.
2. Cut twelve 9" squares from each 3/4 yd. of
fabric.
3. Lay the squares out on the floor to form a pleasing
pattern. Make 12 horizontal rows of 9 blocks each.
4. Sew the blocks together with 1/4" seams. Press.
Join the rows together. Press.
5. Cut the backing fabric in half crosswise. Remove the
selvages. Join the two pieces together along one side with a 1/4" seam.
Press.
6. Layer the quilt top (right side up), batting, and
backing (right side down). Baste the three layers together.
7. To tie quilt, thread yarn needle with a double
strand of yarn. Stitch through the corner of each block, tying a square knot on
top of the quilt.
8. Trim batting and backing even with the top. Apply
bias binding to the top of the quilt. Fold over to the back and blind-stitch in
place with matching thread.
