From solid, cut: • 1—11⁄ 2×401⁄ 2" strip • 30—1×21⁄ 2" rectangles From two assorted prints, cut: • 10 matching sets of 2—2 1 ⁄ 2×2 3⁄4" rectangles From remaining two assorted prints, cut: • 10 matching sets of 1—2 1 ⁄ 2×2 3⁄4" rectangle and 2—1 3⁄ 8×2 1 ⁄ 2" rectangles From main print, cut: • 1—251⁄ 2×401⁄ 2" rectangle • 1—51⁄ 2×401⁄ 2" strip
Assemble A Blocks
1. Gather a solid 1×21 ⁄ 2" rectangle
and a matching set of two print 21 ⁄ 2×2 3⁄4" rectangles. 2. Referring to Diagram 1, sew
a print 21 ⁄ 2×2 3⁄4" rectangle to each long edge of solid 1×2 1 ⁄ 2" rectangle to make Block A. Press seams toward print pieces. Block A should be 21 ⁄ 2×51 ⁄ 2" including seam allowances.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to make
10 A blocks total.
Assemble B Blocks
1. Gather two solid 1×21 ⁄ 2"
rectangles and a matching set of one print 21 ⁄ 2×2 3⁄4" rectangle and two print 13⁄ 8×21 ⁄ 2" rectangles. 2. Referring to Diagram 2, sew
a solid 1×21 ⁄ 2" rectangle to each short end of print 21 ⁄ 2×3" rectangle. Join a print 11 ⁄ 2×2 1 ⁄ 2" rectangle to each solid rectangle to make Block B. Press seams toward print pieces. Block B should be 21 ⁄ 2×51 ⁄ 2" including seam allowances. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to make 10
B blocks total.
Assemble Pillowcase
1. Fold the main print 251 ⁄ 2×401 ⁄ 2"
rectangle in half crosswise to form a 25 1 ⁄ 2×201 ⁄4" rectangle. Sew together long edges and the pair of short edges without piping to make pillowcase body. Turn right side out and press flat.
2. Referring to Diagram 5, slide
pillowcase band over pillowcase body; align raw edges and pin. Sew together through all layers. 3. Press pillowcase band open,
pressing piping and seam allowances toward pillowcase body. Topstitch on piping and through pillowcase body 1 ⁄ 8" from band seam to secure seam allowances and complete pillowcase (Diagram 6).
Assemble Band
1. Lay out 10 A blocks and 10
B blocks in an alternating pattern (Diagram 3). Sew together the blocks in a row to make a 51 ⁄ 2×401 ⁄ 2" pieced strip. 2. Join pieced strip and main print
51 ⁄ 2×401 ⁄ 2" strip. 3. Join short ends of Step 2 unit
to make a loop. Press seam open. Fold loop in half with the wrong side inside; press to make pillowcase band.
Assemble Piping
1. Fold solid 11 ⁄ 2×401 ⁄ 2" strip in half
