Cutting the fabrics
I'm certain I want to use squares from
the New York Beauty panel as the center
of the design on both sides of the bag,
so I'm going to fussy cut two sections
of 9 squares allowing for a ¼" seam on
all sides. Each of my squares turned out
14⁵∕₈" square.
I want to use the flying geese fabric to
make borders, so I’m going to cut one
strip 20" x WOF and then I’ll cut down
the center of each striped section to
make four strips that are 3⁵∕₈" x 20".
For the rest of the fabrics cut as follows:
•• Teal – Cut one strip 1½" x WOF (width
of fabric). From this cut two 1½" x
15½" strips
•• Cut one rectangle 38½" x 25½"
•• Rainbow diamonds – Cut one strip
7" x WOF. From this cut two 7" x 14"
rectangles.
•• Cut one rectangle 32" x 25½".
•• Cut three strips 2½" x WOF. From
these cut three 2½" x 15" strips and
two 2½" x 14½" strips
•• Black print – Cut six strips 1½" x WOF.
From these cut four strips 1½" x 15½"
strips and eight strips 1¼" x 20"
•• Cut one strip 2" x WOF. From this cut
two strips 2" x 15½"
•• Cut two strips 3" x WOF. Set these
aside for the binding.
•• Cut one strip 2½" x WOF. From this
cut one 2½" x 25½" strip and one 2½"
x 14½" strip
•• Lime green – Cut four strips 1" x WOF.
From these cut four strips 1" x 14 5∕8"
and four strips 1" x 15½"
•• Fusible heavyweight interfacing –
cut two pieces 26" x 20"
•• Vinyl - cut one piece 14" x 25½" and
one piece 12" x 15"
