Instructions in the pattern are for the lap quilt; instructions forthe large size are on pages 9-10.

Step 1: Cut FabricsFabric 2 - Orange Colorway Only. Cut five strips (1½" x WOF) andset aside for Border 2.

Fabric 10 - Teal Colorway Only. Cut five strips (1½" x WOF) andset aside for Border 2.

Fabrics 1 & 2. Cut four strips (1¼" x WOF), two strips (1½" xWOF), one strip (1¾" x WOF), and two strips (2" x WOF). Reservethe remainder of Fabric 2 for binding.

Fabrics 3 & 4. Cut four strips (1¼" x WOF), one strip (1¾" x WOF),and one strip (2" x WOF).

Fabrics 5 & 6. Cut two strips (1¼" x WOF), one strip (1¾" xWOF), and one strip (2" x WOF).

Fabrics 7 & 8. Cut four strips (1¼" x WOF), and one strip (1½" xWOF), and one strip (1¾" x WOF).

Fabrics 9 & 10. Cut five strips (1¼" x WOF), and one strip (1½" xWOF), and one strip (1¾" x WOF).

Step 2. Make Blocks A & BWorking with the fabrics for one block at a time, follow the stepsbelow to make five of Block A and four of Block B, referring to theBlock Guide on page 5 or 6 as necessary. Sew with a scant ¼"seam and press after sewing.

Wide Stripe

Narrow Stripe

Step 10. Quilt & BindLayer the project as follows: backing (wrong side up), batting,quilt top (right side up). Baste the layers together. Quilt asdesired.

When the quilting is completed, trim the backing and battingeven with the edges of the quilt top.

Bind the quilt using the reserved Fabric 2 and your favoritebinding method. (There is sufficient fabric for straight grain orbias binding strips up to 2½" wide.)

From the narrow stripes, cut:• two pieces measuring 42" (top/bottom)• four pieces measuring 36" (sides)

From the wide stripes, cut:• two pieces measuring 60" (top/bottom)• four pieces measuring 40" (sides)

Follow the instructions for Framing a Rectangular Quilt andApplying Multiple Borders in Adding Mitered Borders theJinny Beyer Way.

Step 8. Assemble Quilt CenterReferring to the Quilt Assembly diagram on the following page,lay out the blocks on a design surface. Double-check that theblocks are ordered and oriented correctly. Pay special attentionto the X Blocks: the fabrics in these blocks should match thosein the blocks above and below them.

Sew the blocks together into rows. Sew the rows together,matching and pinning the center of the X blocks to the center ofthe blocks above and below.

Step 9. Make & Add the BordersNote that all the border strips are cut oversized and are latertrimmed to fit.

Border 2. Sew together, end-to-end, three of the five strips cut forBorder 2 in Step 1, making a length of approx. 120". Cut into two60" pieces for the sides. The remaining two strips are for thetop/bottom borders.

Borders 1 & 3. Note that the side borders are each made fromtwo pieces, cut to ensure that the fabric design mirrors at thecenter seam and matches at the corners.

Fabric 11 has five wide stripes and five narrow stripes,separated by a semi-solid area used for seam allowances.Separate the design stripes by cutting between them in thisarea, ensuring there is at least ¼" of seam allowance fabricalong the long sides.

Diagram 1: Mark the miter.

45° LineCenterof quilt

Framing a Square Quilt1. Place a strip of the border print across the middle of the quilt, centering a motiffrom the border at the exact center of the quilt. (Because of minor differences inseam allowances taken and stretching that can occur on bias edges, oppositeedges of a quilt often measure slightly differently. Using a measurementtaken from the middle of the quilt will help keep the quilt from ruffling atthe edges.)

2. To mark the first miter, position a quilter’s ruler so the 45° angle runs along thebottom edge of the border print and the ruler touches the point where the topedge of the border print meets the edge of the quilt. (See arrow in Diagram 1.)Mark then cut the miter line. (Because the miter is cut right at the edge of the quilt,the seam allowance is already included.)

3. Use the mitered angle as a pattern for the other side of the strip as follows.Without disturbing the un-cut side of the strip, bring the mitered side of the borderstrip to that side, folding the strip over itself, right sides together. Place the topedge of miter at the edge of the quilt, adjusting it a bit if necessary so that thedesign motifs on the top and bottom match exactly. Mark and cut this second miter.(Using the cut edge, rather than a ruler, as a guide ensures that the design motifswill be an exact match.)

4. Using this first mitered strip as a guide, cut three more identical pieces, makingsure that the design on the border print is exactly the same on all four pieces.

5. As in Diagram 2, mark seam intersection dots on the short side of each of theborder strips (wrong side of the fabric). To find the spot, simply draw a short line1/4-inch inside the mitered edge and the shorter edge of the border strip. Markthe dot where the two lines intersect. Do the same for each corner of the quilt.

6. To sew the borders to the quilt, pin the mid-point of one of the border pieces tothe middle of one of the edges of the quilt. Next, match and pin the dots on eachside of your border with the dots on the quilt corners. Continue pinning the borderto the quilt, easing in any fullness. (The edge of the quilt is usually a little widerthan the center because of bias edges or seams.) Sew the border to the quilt, start-ing and stopping at the dots. Repeat for the remaining borders. Pin and sew themitered seams last, starting from the inside dot. When pinning the edges together,be sure to match the design elements on both pieces.

Diagram 3: Correctly cut and sewnborders will have designs that flowaround the corners.

Diagram 2: Cut three pieces identical to thefirst. Mark seam intersection dots on the quiltand the borders.

Adding Mitered Borders the Jinny Beyer WayJinny Beyer’s border prints are designed specifically with the quilter in mind. Each fabric has a wide and a narrow stripe whichcoordinate in both design and color. Both stripes have mirror-image motifs which are essential for perfectly mitered corners.In addition, the two different stripes in the border print are separated by at least a half-inch so that a 1/4" seam allowance isprovided for on both sides of the stripes. From selvedge to selvedge, there are always at least four repeats of each stripe acrossthe fabric so calculating the yardage needed to border a quilt is easy: you need the length of the longest side of the quilt plusan additional half-yard for a square quilt (2/3 yard for a rectangular one) to match design elements and allow for the miters atthe corners.

For a video demonstration of this bordering technique, visit:www.jinnybeyer.com/bordertips


Framing a Rectangular QuiltWith rectangles, you cannot always be assured that the designs will auto-matically match at the corners so you must take an extra step.

1. First, follow steps 1-3 in Framing a Square Quilt and cut two identicalstrips for the short ends of the quilt (A strips). The pieces for the other twosides of the quilt must be cut differently: for the corners on all pieces to match,there must be a seam in these long pieces at the exact center of the quilt.

2. Place one of the A pieces on top of a length of the border print stripe,matching the fabric designs. Cut one miter to match the miter on the A piece.Set the A piece aside. As in Diagram 4, lay the newly cut strip on top of the quiltthrough the center, aligning the mitered edge with the edge of the quilt.Mark the center of the quilt on the strip as shown. Move the strip from thequilt and cut it off ¼" beyond the center mark. Using this cut piece as a guide,cut one more identical piece (These are the B pieces).

You also need two pieces that are theexact mirror images of the B pieces (Br).Lay one of the B pieces right sidestogether on a strip of border print,matching the fabric design exactly. Cutthe miter and straight edge to match thetop piece. Using the newly cut piece as a guide, cutone more identical Br piece.

3. Sew the B/Br pieces together into pairs, and attach these borders to the quilt as inSteps 5 and 6 in Framing a Square Quilt. Sewing the borders to a rectangular quilt inthis manner assures that the corners will match. There will be a seam at the center ofthe long strips (Diagram 5), but the design at that center will mirror-image as well,allowing the design to flow around the quilt.

Diagram 6: Applying multiple borders

Applying Multiple BordersJinny often designs quilts to make full use of the border prints. First, she willframe the quilt with the narrow border stripe, then add a coordinating fabric as asecond border. The quilt is finished off with the wide stripe from the border print.

Jinny personally measures and adds each border separately. However, when themiddle border is a fabric that doesn’t have to be matched at the corners, she rec-ommends the following method as being a little faster: Sew the middle border tothe first (the narrow border print stripe). Measure and cut this unit as a singleborder in the steps above. (If the quilt is rectangular, sew the middle border tothe first after the first border has been pieced.) Measure, cut and sew the thirdborder separately after the first two borders have been completed and sewn tothe quilt.

Binding the Quilt: When Jinny uses a border print to frame a quilt, she typicallysews the binding to the back of the quilt and turns it to the front. This allows her tocarefully hand-stitch the binding along a straight line printed on the border printfabric. For details, see www.jinnybeyer.com/binding.
