Today, we're going to gather our supplies and prepare our pattern.
First gather your supplies:
-woven scraps for piecing front
-a 9" square piece for the back
-enough to make a piece of binding 2.5" by 40" or so. You can make this out of a single width of fabric, join it, make it out of scraps, etc.
--one 9" square piece of Insulbright
-1-2 9" pieces quilt batting
Next, decide which version of the project you would like to make. The simple version has fewer pieces, but the techniques on both are identical and either will be very easy to do. Print it out on standard printer paper. Be sure to select "none" for page scaling as well as ignoring any warning about printing in the margins.
After it's printed, cut it out along the outside lines. You should end up with a 7.5" square piece of paper that looks like this:
(If your paper doesn't measure exactly 7.5", it won't be a big deal for this project because we're only using one block. If you wanted to make an entire quilt, though, you'd need to find the printing problem and correct it because small discrepancies are multiplied when piecing together lots of blocks.)
