Hello everyone! I’m Faith Jones of Fresh Lemons Quilts and I’m very excited to share my second Fat Quarter Gang project with you today, the Belle Wave Lap Quilt.
For each of the 8 Print Fat Quarters, cut 18, 3” x 6” rectangles. It is important that your Fat Quarters be cut accurately (18” x 21”) in order to cut all the rectangles as this uses up all the fabric. See Diagram 1 for the cutting layout.
You will have a few rectangles left over at the end of the project. You can use these to either make an additional column for the quilt or to enhance the back of
the quilt.______________________________________________________________________
Assemble Quilt BlocksAssemble 26 quilt blocks. To achieve a nice balance of color, create 3 quilt blocks from each of the 8 print Fat Quarters and 2 additional quilt blocks from the remaining cut fabric.
Step 1: For each block, sew your fabric columns together as shown in Diagram 2.
Assemble Quilt TopStep 1: Once your 26 quilt blocks are created, layout your quilt as shown in Diagram 4. Note that every other column has the quilt blocks flipped upside-down and staggered.
Step 2: Trim the 4 overhanging quilt blocks, 1/4” past the halfway mark of the block, horizontally, to allow for your seam allowance when finishing your quilt. See Diagrams 5. Your trimmed blocks should measure 6” x 13”.
