Note: Read all the instructions before starting the project. It is recommended that fabrics be 100% cotton, pre-washed and well ironed. Requirements are based on fabric 107cm (42in) wide. Carol used the same fabric for the binding as she did for the sashing and Border 1, meaning she used a total of 1.05m (1 1/8yd); they are listed separately so you can bind the quilt in another fabric if you wish. The appliqué method used is needleturn with freezer paper, but you can adapt the instructions to your preferred technique. A seam allowance of1 /4in is used throughout unless stated otherwise. Instructions are given for using the printed Pattern Sheet in the magazine, but you can also download the digital pattern
