Sew with right sidestogether unless otherwise stated.Cut FabricsCut pieces in the following order.Patterns are on pages 9–10. Tomake a template of Pattern H, seeMake and Use Templates, page 12.Appliqué foundation squares arecut larger than necessary; you willtrim them to the correct sizes aftercompleting the appliqué andembroidery.Designer Bobbie Ashley used afreezer-paper method to prepareappliqué pieces. To use thismethod, complete thefollowing steps.1. Lay freezer paper, shiny sidedown, over patterns A–G. Usea pencil to trace each patternthe number of times indicatedin cutting instructions. Cut outfreezer-paper shapes on drawnlines to make templates.2. Using a hot dry iron, press eachfreezer-paper template, shinyside down, onto wrong side ofdesignated fabric; let cool. Cutout each fabric shape, adding ascant 1 4" seam allowance to alledges, to make appliqué pieces.Clip into inner seam allowance ofthe A wreath appliqué just up toedge of template.3. Spray a small amount of starchin a dish. Place template-toppedA wreath appliqué facedownon a pressing surface coveredwith a tea towel or muslin. Dipa cotton swab in starch andmoisten outer seam allowanceof wreath appliqué (Diagram 1).Using tip of a hot dry iron, turnseam allowance over edge offreezer-paper template andpress until fabric is dry.

Repeat Step 3 with outeredges of B and F leaf appliqués(Diagram 2).5. To turn under seam allowancesof C, D, E, and G circle appliqués,sew long basting stitches aroundeach fabric circle, 1 16" from rawedge (Diagram 3). End stitchingnear starting point. Gently pullthread ends to gather bastingstitches and fabric snuglyaround freezer-paper templates.Spray with starch, press, and letdry. Clip gathering threads andgently remove templates.From dark red print, cut: 8—91 8" squares, cutting eachin half diagonally for 16 largetriangles total 22 of Pattern C 4 of Pattern E 24 of Pattern GFrom light gold print, cut: 1—18" square 2—63 8" squares, cutting eachin half diagonally for 4 mediumtriangles total 8—17 8 6" rectangles 2—35 8" squares, cutting eachin half diagonally for 4 smalltriangles total 16—21 4" squares, cutting eachin half diagonally for 32 extrasmall triangles total 4—17 8" squaresFrom each gold, orange,dark orange, and rust print, cut: 4—21 4" squares, cutting each inhalf diagonally for 8 extra-smalltriangles total2

American Patchwork & Quilting Quilt Sampler Quilts and MoreMake and Use TemplatesMake TemplatesA template is a pattern made fromextra-sturdy material so you cantrace around it many times withoutwearing away the edges. Acrylictemplates for many commonshapes are available at quilt shops.Or you can make your own byduplicating printed patterns ontemplate plastic.To make permanent templates,purchase easy-to-cut templateplastic, available at quilt shops andcrafts supply stores. Lay theplastic over a printed pattern.Trace the pattern onto the plasticusing a ruler and a permanentmarker to ensure straight lines,accurate corners, and permanency.For hand piecing and appliqué,make templates the exact sizefinished pieces will be (withoutseam allowances). For piecing, thismeans tracing the patterns’ dashedlines.For machine piecing, maketemplates that include seamallowances by tracing the patterns’solid and dashed lines onto thetemplate plastic.For easy reference, mark eachtemplate with its letterdesignation, grain line (if noted onthe pattern), and block name. Cutout the traced shapes on theiroutside lines. Verify eachtemplate’s shape and size byplacing it over its printed pattern.Templates must be accurate;errors, however small, willcompound many times as youassemble a quilt. To checktemplates’ accuracy, make a testblock before cutting the fabricpieces for an entire quilt.Use TemplatesTo mark on fabric, use a pencil,white dressmaker’s pencil, chalk,or a special fabric marker thatmakes a thin, accurate line. Do notuse a ballpoint or ink pen; it maybleed if washed. Test all markingtools on a fabric scrap beforeusing them.To make pieces for hand piecingor appliqué, place a templatefacedown on the wrong side of thefabric and trace. Then repositionthe template at least 1 2" away fromthe previous tracing (Diagram 1),trace again, and repeat. The linesyou trace on the fabric are sewinglines. Mark cutting lines 1 4" awayfrom the sewing lines, or estimatethe distance by eye when cuttingout the pieces with scissors. Forhand piecing, add a 1 4" seamallowance; for hand appliqué, add a3 16" seam allowance.Because templates used to makepieces for machine piecing haveseam allowances included, you canuse common tracing lines forefficient cutting. Place a templatefacedown on the wrong side of thefabric and trace. Then repositionthe template without a spacebetween it and the previous tracing(Diagram 2); trace again andrepeat. Using a rotary cutter andruler, cut pieces out, cuttingprecisely on the drawn lines.Pattern may be downloaded for personal use only.
