201 HOT FUDGE SUNDAE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP QUILT

Choose small scale black & white and white & black prints. Avoid large scale prints. When cutting large scale prints into smaller pieces the print may be lost and end up appearing as solid white or black material.

YARDAGE:
16 different strips, 4” x 42”, black & white prints that are more white than black.
16 different strips, 4” x 42”, black & white prints that are more black than white.
2 yards solid black (black sateen preferred).
2 yards solid white (I used a slightly off-white shade called “snow”) for blocks and
posts.
1½ yards solid red for blocks and sashing.
3 yards for borders if you choose a directional print. I chose a directional black and
white print. If your border is not directional, you need 2 1/3 yards.
Backing fabric: 5 yards

ADDITIONAL SUPPLIES:

Sewing machine in good working order
Sewing supplies you regularly use such as thread, straight pins, scissors, seam ripper, etc.
Rotary cutting equipment: mat (18” x 24”), ruler (6” x 24”) and cutter with sharp blade. Optional: 6” x 12” ruler is helpful.
Bias Square Ruler or 6” x 6” Square Ruler. This is important.

CUTTING

You will be making 9 Star Blocks. Note that 5 stars are black and 4 stars are white.

You will have enough black and white print fabric to make 7 additional blocks (a quilt of 16 blocks that would measure 98½” x 98½”) but you would need an additional 1½ yds. solid black fabric (total 3½ yds.), 1½ yd. solid white fabric (total 3½ yds.), and 1 solid red fabric (total 2½ yds.).

From each black and white print fabric, cut:
4 squares, 4” x 4”, then recut the remainder of the strip into 2 strips 2” x 24”. Keep matching squares and matching strips together.

From the solid white fabric cut:
4 strips, 4” x 42”. From these strips, cut 32 squares, 4” x 4”. These will be used with the black and white prints to make the Half Square Triangle Blocks.
4 strips, 3½” x 42”. From these strips, cut 40 squares, 3½” x 3½”.
8 strips, 2” x 42”. These will be used in the Four Patch Blocks.
1 additional strip, 2” x 42”. Keep this separate.
16 squares, 2½” x 2½”, for Posts

From the solid black fabric cut:
4 strips, 4” x 42”. From these strips, cut 40 squares, 4” x 4”. These will be used with the black and white prints to make the Half Square Triangle Blocks.
4 strips, 3½” x 42”. From these strips, cut 32 squares, 3½” x 3½”.
10 strips, 2” x 42”. These will be used in the Four Patch Blocks.
1 additional strip, 2” x 42”. Keep this separate.

From the solid red fabric cut:
2 strips, 2” x 42”.
24 rectangles, 2½” x 18½” for Sashing

For the borders:
Cut 3 strips across the fabric (perpendicular to the selvage), 8½” x 42”. Cut one strip in half to create 2 rectangles, 8½” x 21”. Sew one 21” piece to one 42” piece to create a 63” piece. Cut this piece 62½” long. These will be the top and bottom borders.

Cut 2 strips the length of the fabric (parallel to the selvage), 8½” x 78½”. These will be the side borders.

If your fabric is not directional, all borders can be cut parallel to the selvage so they don't need to be pieced.
