The file includes all templates for the Sue and Sam quilt blocks, and outlines of each completed unit to use as a layout guides. The guides illustrate where patches overlap.
Templates are printed right side up. Cutting methods differ for various appliqué techniques, and some pieces in blocks must be mirror images of each other to make figures face different directions. Consider orientation when you cut asymmetrical pieces.
Use the quick-fuse method or any other technique you wish to appliqué the motifs to the 13" squares.
Fold each square in half along both straight edges, then again diagonally. Lines should intersect at the block's center. Keep the designs centered within the square.
- Appliqué patches to squares using the technique of your choice.
- Press. Square up each block to measure 10-1/2" x 10-1/2", keeping Sues and Sams centered in the block.
- Use the quick corners technique to sew a 3" x 3" chocolate square to each corner of each block. Press.
Assemble the Quilt
- Referring to the illustration on page 1, arrange the blocks into seven rows, alternating block types as shown.
- Sew blocks in each row together. Press seam allowances towards the Chain blocks. Sew rows together. Press.
- Sew straight borders on the quilt. Use 2-1/2" wide strips for inner border and 5-1/2" wide strips for the outer border (border instructions).
- Sandwich the quilt with batting and backing. Quilt by hand or machine. Trim and square-up excess edges and sew binding strips around the quilt edges.
