Printing instructions:
Use iron-on transfer paper when printing patterns for sewing an actual
quilt. Before printing, flop the pattern horizontally using your printer's
controls, so that the pattern transfers to the fabric in the correct orientation.
This pattern square is enough for cutting one or two wedges for your quilt. |

Sewing the Quilt Materials: Approximately 3 yards of white or bone fabric for the wedge patterns; 4 yards fabric for pie backgrounds; 5 yards backing fabric; 2 yards colored or pattern fabric for divider strips (we also suggest decorative 2" ribbon — patriotic stars & stripes patterns might be attractive); enough batting/filling to fit finished quilt. 1. Stay-stitch all pieces along seam lines. Sew edges of wedges together along seam lines. 2. EITHER: Use in-between pattern and stitch to pies OR hand-applique pies to background squares. In either case, be sure to clip darts in curves, press with warm iron from center of pie toward the outer edge of the square. 3. Sew border strips to join squares. 4. Stitch batting to backing fabric, then sew finished quilt top to backing, right sides together, leaving an 8" opening. Clip corners, turn right side out and press. Hand stitch the 8" opening closed.5. Hand or machine quilt along seam lines and as shown within squares to create radiant sunburst pattern around each pie. |
