Puff Blocks to make a Pillow or Quilt
Materials:
Fabric scraps will do for a pillow
45 inch wide fabric
4 1/2 yds. print (your choice)
2 1/2 yds. 2nd print
1 1/2 yds. each of a coordinating
solid color
Matching thread, 1 of each color
Polyester batting - leftovers will do
for pillow - for quilt 3 pkgs.
each 81 x 96 inches
Method:
Quilt will measure 49 x 91 inches - twin size. Solid
block (1) cut two 4 1/2 inch squares of same color fabric.
With right sides facing, allowing 1/2 inch for seam all
around, sew squares together around 3 sides. Turn right side
out. Cut 2 pieces of batting each 5 1/2 inch square, lay one
on top of other and insert into block, having extra fullness
at center. Turn in 1/2 inch seam allowance on 4th side and
whipstitch. Make 166 blocks of main color, 45 blocks of 2nd
color or print, 47 blocks of 3rd color or print, 49 blocks
of 4th color. Decide what pattern to arrange your puff into
and whipstitch all the blocks together. You may put a border
around the quilt or pillow. If you want to make some blocks
2 color, cut the squares 5 1/2 inches and cut these in half
diagonally from one corner to opposite corner forming a
triangle. Allow 1/2 inch for seam and put two triangles of
different colors together to form a square complete block
same as solid block.
