Flower Patch Quilt (From Sentimental Living)
You will need twenty 13" squares of assorted print fabrics, 1 7/8 yds of 60"w fabric for backing and binding, 12 assorted buttons, and embroidery floss.
Match right sides and use a 1/2" seam allowance for all sewing.
1. For quilt front, sew four 13" squares together to make a 49" long strip; repeat to make a total of five strips. Matching seams, sew long edges of strips together.
2. For backing, cut a 52" x 64" piece from fabric. Matching wrong sides and with 1 1/2" extended past each edge of quilt front, pin backing to front. For binding, press top and bottom edges of backing 3/4" to wrong side twice, overlapping edges of quilt front; repeat with side edges. Sew along inside edges of binding on quilt front.
3. Knotting and leaving floss ends long at front of button, use floss to sew a button to quilt front at each intersection where corners of fabric squares meet.
