Notes:
Sample is on Kona white with Quilters Dream cotton batting in Select weight
1. Cut the fabric into two pieces, one yard each
2. Cut one of the yard pieces along the fold, yielding two pieces approximately 36 x 20. These will be for the sampler
3. Cut the other in half twice, to make four fat quarters – cut once to make two half yards, and then again on the fold to yield four pieces approximately 18 x 20. These will be for the practice pieces
Your batting will be 24 inches wide. Cut as follows:
- Cut 40 inches for the sampler
- From the remaining, cut two pieces at 22 inches for the practice pieces (they will be 22 x 24)
- Save any leftovers for more practice pieces or small projects
