Twin I-Spy Lattice Quilt
Finished Size: 66x83"
Fabric Requirements:
180 3"x6.5" I-Spy Squares
60 2"xWOF (width of fabric) sashing strips
backing slightly larger than 67x84"
batting slightly larger than 67x84"
To begin, sew each I-spy fabric to the sashing strip with 1/4" SA (seam allowance).
When the fabrics are all sewn onto sashing on one side, cut them apart and sew the other side with 1/4"SA.
Once all 180 I-Spy fabrics have sashing on both sides, press them all with seams to the inside
Next, trim all squares to 6"x6"
Now it's time to lay out the quilt. To do this, separate the squares into 3 piles. One is for squares that must be laid out vertically, the next is for horizontal squares, and the third is for squares that can go either way.
First, lay out the horizontal and vertical squares. You will have 12 squares across and 15 down. The layout is all according to preference - just make sure there are no areas that are all dark or light, or bright colors all in the same spot. Here's how I laid mine out.
Now, pin squares together and sew strips.
Press the seams to the solid color, and then sew strips together to complete your quilt top. Press the seams to alternating sides (left on one row, right on the next)
Now that you have completed the quilt top, baste it to the batting and backing. I use spray baste, but you can pin if you would like.
Quilt as desired. For this quilt, I meandered on the white.
Bind and wash. Congratulations!
