Wall hangers are easy to create. The minute
size quilts once created will make a nice gift and/or decoration
for your home.
Once you have your parts together, as well as have your tools
you can get started making a wall hanger. If you are new to
quilting, do not worry since the hanger we are making is one of
the easier groups of craft to create.
Do not forget to get your rotary cutters on hand, since
throughout your quilting project you will need to cut ¼-inch
allowances for your seams. Now, assuming you have your green,
tan, blue, yellow, and peach print in order we can get started
making your top section of the quilt.
Briefly, I will go over the sections to help you prepare. You
should have two, 2 ½ x 19 ½ inches of upper and lower borders in
the green prints. You should have another two borders in green
at the size of 2 ½ x 27 ½ inches. You should have the value of
36 for your D Square and the size at 1 ½ x 1 ½ inches. Tan print
has six parts, i.e. A-strip, B piece, C-Strip, D-E square, and
F-strip. Blue only has one part, while yellow has three and
peach has one. The yellow is C-strip, D-square, and the last
value of four is the cornerstone. C values eighteen, and
measures at 1 ½ x 1 ½ inches, while D values 12 and measures at
2 ½ x 2 ½ inches; F is the peach strip, Peach, which values four
and its gauge is 1 ½ x 3 ½ inches. Peach has the G-strip, which
values four and measures at 2 ½ x 5 ½ inches. The rust prints
include the value of six, which makes up the sashing #1 vertical
at measures to 1 ½ x 13 ½ inches. The second sashing creates
three and measures to 1 ½ x 21 ½ inches, while the last H strip
values four and measures at 1 ½ x 7 ½ inches.
You will need to cut these pieces of your quilt out. Use the
guide above to achieve a precise cut. Now you can crown your
quilt. Start by creating a row and a block. Use your block, row,
and begin stitching your D-Blue Square to attach to the A-Tan
narrow pieces. (Strips)
Continue to the next color arrangement to complete the second
block. Use the D-Yellow Square in the second block and create a
couple of narrow pieces per color arrangement.
Now stitch two pieces of the tan print together to create a
starting row two and in the first block. Use Tan B, a couple of
Blue Cs, a Yellow C and overturn so that the yellow/blue has a
gateway through the color arrangement at the second block. You
want to create double narrow pieces.
In the third row, create a couple more rows and arrange the
colors according in the blocks. In the fourth row, create
another two rows so that you have a nine pattern in your color
arrangement, which should extend crosswise. Alternating, add
stitches to the blocks (2) and make your center by creating #2
sashing narrow pieces equaling three. Now press your fabric. Use
an iron without ironing, rather pressing as you move along.
You are ready for your borders. Starting with the #2 border,
stitch the narrow pieces so that it moves left to right, and to
the sides at the right of your quilt, stitching toward the
middle. Add 2 ½ x 2 ½ inches, by stitching the yellow print
square. Stitch along the shorter ends linking it to your dual
borders. (Strip #1) Moving along, at the edges along the top and
bottom, stitch the narrow pieces, stitching along the middle.
You are now ready to complete your project.
