Moda Weave « modafabrics

Hello! My name is Erica from Kitchen Table Quilting and I am here to share a quilt made with a fat eighth bundle of Bonnie and Camille’s beautiful new April Showers collection. This quilt is really quick to put together and it is a great way to show of some of those pretty fabrics.

1 Fat Eighth Bundle April Showers
2.5 Yards Moda Weave
1/4 Yard Teal Border Fabric
1/2 Yard Umbrella Border Fabric
1/2 Yard Binding Fabric

From your background fabric cut:
4 strips 8″xWOF. Subcut into 16 blocks 8″x 8″.
4 strips 4.5″xWOF. Subcut into 32 blocks 4.5″x 4.5″.
10 strips 4″xWOF. Subcut into 64 blocks 4″x 4″.

Using the prints that will create the most contrast with your background fabric cut:
16 squares 8″x 8″
32 squares 4.5″x 4.5″

Borders:
Cut 3 strips 2.5″x WOF
Cut 3 strips 5.5″x WOF

Binding:
Cut 7 strips 2.5″x WOF

For each block you will need:
1 – 8″x 8″ print
1 – 8″x 8″ background fabric
2 – 4.5″x 4.5″ print
2 – 4.5″ x 4.5″ background fabric
2 – 4″x 4″ background fabric

Take the 8″x 8″ background fabric square and the 4.5″x 4.5″ background fabric squares and draw a diagonal line using a washable pen onto the wrong side of the fabric.

Place the background square together with a print square of the same size, right sides together, and sew 1/4″ away from the drawn line on either side.

Cut along the drawn line.

Press the seams open.

Trim the larger blocks down to 7.5″ square and the smaller blocks down to 4″ square. When trimming line up the diagonal on your ruler with the seam to make sure that your trimmed square will be straight.
