PLANNING A REPRODUCTION
Using the technique of paper foun-
dation piecing allows accurate assem-
bly of each 11-piece arc, assuring that
arcs fit the large muslin pieces. The
paper remains intact until the other
shapes are sewn to the arcs—only then
is the paper gently torn away. Pieces
do not have to be cut precisely for
foundation piecing but cut large
enough to trim seam allowances after
seams are sewn. Stitch a practice arc to
determine exactly how generous your
pieces of fabric must be cut.

Planning, Cutting, and Marking
For this quilt, a design wall or other
large surface will prove invaluable
when planning each block’s corner fab-
ric arrangement and when assembling
the blocks. You may choose to plan out
all the block fabric arrangements in
advance, using swatches of fabrics on a
design wall or you may wish to work
block by block, making sure to use
matching fabric triangles in adjacent
blocks. June cut the floral stripe trian-
gles (bottom row blocks) so the stripe
runs horizontally. If you wish to do
likewise, cut three of the 5⅞˝ squares
along 1 diagonal to make the half-
square triangles, and cut the remainder
along the opposite diagonal. Accurate
¼˝ seams are important to make your
“lattice” join up correctly.
June used raw edge appliqué for the
stems and leaves. We instruct you to
do likewise. Purchase more fabric if
using a traditional method.
