Sewing the RV Ramblings Quilt General Directions • Stitch all seams a scant ¼”. • Press seams as indicated on pattern. If no pressing directions are indicated, press toward darker fabric. • WOF in cutting instructions means “width of fabric.” Where you see this, cut from selvage to selvage. • QST means “Quarter Square Triangle.” • HST means “Half Square Triangle.” • RST means “Right Sides Together.” Place printed surfaces of fabric facing each other. • The hand printed fabric used in this pattern is subject to heat during printing. Slight shrinkage could occur. If pieces do not measure required cutting size, you may need to “fudge” slightly on seam allowances. Four Patch Blocks - Make 20 Stitch together a Fabric A 3¾” x WOF strip and a Fabric B 3¾” x WOF strip along long edge; press seam toward darker fabric; repeat with additional 3¾” x WOF strips.
