Enough 2 ½” wide strips cut on the bias to total 125” in length when sewn together. For help with cutting the bias strips,
go to my blog at www.ankastreasures.wordpress.com. Under the Tutorials tab along the top, you will find instructions for
cutting bias binding.
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS:
CREAM: ½ yard for center square
YELLOW: ¼ yard for first border
GREEN: ½ yard for second border, stems,
and leaves
RED: ½ yard for outer border and pinwheels
YELLOW PLAID: ⅛ yard for pinwheels
Scraps of RED AND BLACK for appliqués
BINDING: ½ yard of black stripe to be
cut on the bias
BACKING: ⅞ yard
BATTING: 30” x 36”
Thread for the appliqué is also required. I used
clear nylon thread for the stems and black
topstitching thread for the flowers. The brand I
recommend is Dual Duty by Coats and it says
Topstitching or Heavy on the end of the spool.
Fusible Web is also required

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Draw a diagonal line across the back side of the red 2 ⅛" squares. Lay the red and yellow plaid 2 ⅛” squares
right sides together and sew ¼" away from both sides of the drawn line. Cut on the drawn to make 16 half
square triangle blocks. Press all seams toward the red (or in the direction of the arrows). Proof the blocks to
1 ¾”.
Make 16
2. Sew the Step 1 blocks together to make 4 pinwheel blocks and proof them to 3”. Sew the yellow borders to
the cream center, along with the pinwheel blocks as shown.
Make 4
3. Press the green bias strip in half with wrong sides together. Press over again, centering the raw edge in the
back of the strip. Position on the quilt as shown in the color photo and machine appliqué in place with a small
zigzag and nylon thread. I used a size 9 needle to help hide the stitching.
4. Prepare the appliqué shapes - Trace the appliqué templates onto the paper side of the fusible material.
Roughly cut out around the shapes. On the larger shapes like the basket and the petals, I trimmed the center
of the fusible material out, leaving roughly 1/4" of the fusible material around the edges. This helps reduce
some of the bulk. Iron the shapes onto the wrong side of the fabric, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Cut out the shapes on the drawn line and peel off the paper backing. Fuse to the quilt referring to the color
photo for placement. Machine appliqué using a blanket stitch and black topstitching/heavy thread.
5. Sew the green 1 ¾” x 25 ½” strips to the sides of the quilt as shown in Step 6. Sew the green 1 ¾” x 22” to
the top and bottom of the quilt. Press the seams toward the green.
6. Sew the red 3” x 28” strips to the sides of the quilt. Sew the red 3” x 27” to the top and bottom of the quilt.
Press the seams toward the green.
7. Quilt and bind. For help with the hand stitching, refer to the tutorials tab on my blog.
