Note: If you haven’t made the pieced bands forthe American Valor quilt, join 7 strips edge to edge inthe order shown (Diagram 2). Make 2 bands. You need8 triangles, 4 from the bottom of the strip and 4 fromthe top of the strip, to make the pieced triangle edgingfor the pillowcase. Cut the triangles from the leftoversof the quilt’s pieced bands or from the newly madebands.2. Cut one of the lighter pieced triangles in half vertically.Referring to Diagram 3, join the 7 triangles side byside, rotating them as shown. Sew a half triangle to eachend.3. Trim the Fabric A patches (the pillowcase body and thelining) and the pieced triangle band the same width sothat they match (approximately 43").4. With right sides together, sew the large Fabric A patchto the “dark” side of the pieced triangle band, and sewthe Fabric A lining to the “light” side of the band. Pressthe seam allowances toward the lining.5. Fold the unit in half lengthwise, with right sidestogether, aligning and pinning the seams of the band.Sew along the bottom and the side of thepillowcase/pieced band/lining, leaving the top (lining)end open.
