Directions
Cutting:
Stripe:
Cut 4 strips @ 3”wide X WOF (Width Of Fabric) for the borders. Your stripe
direction should be going the short direction. Set aside.
Cut 16 “B” template shapes, all right side up with the fabric right side up.
Line up the arrow marking with the direction of the stripe.
Light Purple:
Cut 4 strips @ 1½” wide X WOF. Set aside.
Dark Purple:
Cut 32 “A” template shapes all right side up with the fabric right side up.
Sewing:
All seams are ¼”. Sew two purple “A” pieces to one stripe “B” piece using the
Curved Seam Piecing technique I demonstrated on The Quilt Show with Alex
Anderson and Ricky Timms, show #1105. Press your seams either direction.
Repeat with the other 15 sets to create a total of 16 blocks. In a perfect world,
your blocks will be 6½”.
Following the illustration below, sew 4 blocks into 4 rows. Press all straight seams
to the right.

Borders:
Light Purple borders:
Measure your quilt top from side to side at the top, the middle and the bottom.
(It’s square, and it does not matter which way you turn it, it will look the same.)
Take an average of that measurement, and cut two of your strips to that length.
Sew them on to the sides.

Turn your top so that the purple borders are on the top and bottom. Repeat the
previous instructions and sew on the last two strips.
Striped borders:
Measure your quilt top from side to side at the top, the middle and the bottom.
(It’s square, and it does not matter which way you turn it, it will look the same.)
Take an average of that measurement and add 2” to the number. (In a perfect
world your top would measure 26½” + 2” = 28½”.) Cut all four of the border strips
to your actual quilt top measurement +2”.
“Partial Seam” borders construction:
Following the diagram below, sew the last few inches of the border piece on to
the right end of the top, lining up the straight edges. Press the seam towards the
stripe.

Turn your top one-quarter turn to the left. Your next border will sew on completely
from top to bottom. Repeat this for the next two borders.

When you get back to the first border, sew the rest of the seam, completing the
“partial seam”.
Quilt as desired.
Binding: During the show I demonstrated a binding by machine technique that I
like to teach. You can use it here if you like!
I hope you enjoyed this pattern. I would love to put up a photo of your finished
project on my web site. Please send the photograph to my email address below.
