20 IRRESISTIBLE PROJECTS TO BRIGHTEN YOUR HOME

.....

11 Using a ¼in (6mm) seam, sew the strips to the main panels and end panels. When you join the triangle strips it is important that the seam does not cut off the points of the triangles. It may help to place a pin through the panel and strip exactly where each triangle point is.

12 The wide outer border is made up of twenty-eight nine-patch blocks, which are joined together with triangles. If the match between the sizes of the outer and inner borders is not exact, there is some scope for adjustment by changing the size of the inner border. For this reason it is a good idea not to add the inner border until after the outer border is made. Choose nine different fabrics and cut twenty-eight 1½in (3.8cm) squares from each (252 in total). Collect the squares into groups of nine, with all nine fabrics in each group. Sew the groups of nine squares into nine-patch blocks, so you have twenty-eight blocks, each 3½in (8.9cm) square to its raw edges – see Fig 1.
