Time to Quilt Block Quilt - All Requirements and Finishing Instructions

24-Block Challenge Block Requirements:

To make all 48 blocks, you will need a total of 3 yds of Fabric #1

and 3 yds of Fabric #2.

See image below using Block 20 in two fabrics.

If you’re using different fabrics in each block, you will need approx.* 1/8 yd of Fabric #1 & 1/8 yd of Fabric #2.

(*Some blocks require 1/6 yd.)

See image below using all blocks in a variety of fabrics.

If you’re using a particular fabric in more than one block, you will need 1/8 yd for each block that it’s used in, i.e.

2 blocks = ¼ yd

3 blocks = 3/8 ydBlock Quilt here)

4 blocks = ½ yd

5 blocks = 5/8 yd

Etc.

To make the 70” x 90” quilt using all 48 blocks (2 mirror image blocks of all 24 blocks):

Additional Fabric Requirements

Sashing – 1 ¼ yds (quilt shown uses 9020-10)

Border – 1 ¼ yds (quilt shown uses 9030-99)

Binding – 2/3 yd (quilt shown uses 9030-99)

Lengthwise Backing – 6 yds

Finishing Instructions:

1. Make 48 blocks (2 mirror image blocks of all 24 blocks)

2. From sashing fabric, cut 28 – 1 ½” x WOF strips. From the first ten strips, cut 40 – 1 ½” x 9 ½” vertical sashing strips. Join the remaining strips together and set aside.

3. Referring to the quilt image for placement, sew blocks for each row together, adding a 1 ½” x 9 ½” vertical sashing strip between each block.

4. From the long sashing strip made in Step 2, cut 9 – 1 ½” x 59 ½” horizontal sashing strips.

5. Sew completed rows together, adding a 1 ½” x 59 ½” horizontal sashing strip between each row, and then to the top & bottom of the quilt top.

6. From the remaining long sashing strip, cut 2 – 1 ½” x 81 ½” side sashing strips and add to both sides of the quilt top.

7. From border fabric, cut 8 – 5” x WOF strips. Sew strips together. Cut two 81 ½” side border strips and sew to each side of the quilt top. Cut two 70 ½” top & bottom border strips and sew to top & bottom of the quilt top.

8. From binding fabric, cut 9 – 2 ½” x WOF strips. Join strips with diagonal seams and prepare binding.

9. Cut backing piece in half along length of fabric to get two 3 yd x WOF pieces. Sew pieces together along selvage edges. Backing piece will measure approximately 84” x 106”.
