Note on Cutting Border Print Patches

When placing templates on border print fabric, center thetemplate on a mirror-image motif and align the sewing lineunder the arrow just under a printed line on the borderprint fabric. This will create pleasing symmetry and adefining edge when the patch is sewn.

To help you cut multiple identical patches, draw a portionof the design motif from the fabric onto the template.Mark around the template on the fabric, then find thatdrawn motif elsewhere on the fabric for the next patch.

Jinny Beyer’s Chelsea quilt is based on an asymmetrical log cabin block so the construction is straightforward. Strongly contrastingcolors on the two halves of the block create a beautiful secondary design that is further enhanced with border print medallions. Learnto fussy cut identical triangles for the medallions and to miter the quilt borders using Jinny’s no-math technique.

All seam allowances are ¼-inch. Press seams to one side.WOF = Width of Fabric. Read the entire pattern beforebeginning. Basic quiltmaking knowledge is assumed.

Step 1: Cut FabricsCut the number of strips indicated. All strips are cut thewidth shown x WOF.

Fabric 1 Fabric 2A - Cut 6 strips 1¾" wide. C - Cut 2 strips 11/8" wide.B - Cut 3 strips 11/8" wide. D - Cut 1 strip 1¾" wide.

Fabric 3E - Cut 3 strips 11/8" wide, then cut 36 pieces 23/8" long.F- Cut 1 strip 23/8" wide.

Fabric 4G - Cut 3 strips 1¾" wide, then cut 36 pieces 3" long.H - Cut 2 strips 3" wide.

Fabric 5I - Cut 4 strips 11/8" wide, then cut 36 pieces 4¼" long.J - Cut 1 strip 4¼" wide.Blue Only - Reserve remainder for binding.

Fabric 6K - Cut 5 strips 1¾" wide, then cut 36 pieces 47/8" long.L - Cut 2 strips 47/8" wide.

Fabric 7Pink Only - Reserve ¾ yard for Border 2.M - Cut 6 strips 11/8" wide, then cut 36 pieces 61/8" long.N - Cut 8 strips 11/8" wide, then cut 36 pieces 6¾" long.

Fabric 8O - Cut 8 strips 1¾" wide, then cut 36 pieces 6¾" long.P - Cut 8 strips 1¾" wide, then cut 36 pieces 8" long.Pink Only - Reserve remainder for binding.

Fabric 9Q - Cut 8 strips 11/8" wide, then cut 36 pieces 8" long.R - Cut 9 strips 11/8" wide, then cut 36 pieces 85/8" long.

Fabric 10S - Cut 9 strips 1¾" wide, then cut 36 pieces 85/8" long.T - Cut 9 strips 1¾" wide, then cut 36 pieces 97/8" long.

Fabric 11Blue Only - Reserve ¾ yard for Border 2.U - Cut 9 strips 11/8" wide, then cut 36 pieces 97/8" long.V - Cut 9 strips 11/8" wide, then cut 36 pieces 10½" long.

Fabric 12 (Border Print). Separate the wide and narrowstripes by cutting through the center of the solid areabetween them. Each strip should have ¼" of the solid fabricalong the long sides for seam allowance. All border piecesare cut oversized and are trimmed to fit in a later step.

Border 1 (Narrow Stripes) - Cut four pieces measuring 70".Border 3 (Wide Stripes) - Cut four pieces measuring 98".Triangles A & B - Make the A and B templates by followingthe instructions on page 3. Referring to the Note on CuttingBorder Print Patches below, mark and cut 36 identical Atriangles and 36 identical B triangles from the remainingwide stripes. (The A and B triangles are cut from differentportions of the fabric and will not match.)

Step 2: Make the Fabric 1 Combination StripsFor speed and accuracy, the A and B strips (Fabric 1) aresewn to the fabrics that will be adjacent to them in the block,then cut into segments ready for Step 3. Sew and cut as fol-lows, pressing the seams towards the dark fabric before cutting.

• Sew an A strip to each ofthe C, H and L strips, makingsix strips (two of eachcombination.) Cut the stripsinto 1¾" segments to make36 each of C/A, A/H andA/L.

• Sew a B strip to each ofthe D, F and J strips, makingthree strips. Cut the stripsinto 11/8" segments to make36 each of B/D, F/B andJ/B.

Step 3: Make the BlocksThe blocks are constructed log cabin-style in completesquares. Once the squares are made, the border print trian-gles are sewn to opposite corners and the underlying blocktrimmed away. Make the block as follows, then repeat tomake 36. Press all seams towards the center of the block.

As in Diagram 2, beginthe block by sewing aB/D strip to the centerC/A unit. Add an E stripas shown; then add anF/B strip.

Referring to Diagram 3,continue in this fashion,adding strips in a clock-wise direction and press-ing before the next stripis sewn. Block measures10½" including seamallowance.

Step 4: Add the Border Print TrianglesPosition the A and B triangles on the log cabin block, rightsides together (Diagram 4). The blunted corners of the tri-angles should align with the outer edges of the block. Inaddition, the sewing line (shown in yellow) should be justbeyond the corner of the Fabric 1 squares. Pin in place and sew.

Fold the triangles right-side out to check the accuracy of theseam. Re-sew the seam if necessary. When the seam looksgood, fold the triangles back towards the center of the block.Trim off the two corners of the block along the raw edge ofthe triangles (blue dashed line) and press the triangles rightside out. Repeat for all 36 blocks.

Step 5: Assemble the QuiltArrange four blocks as shown in Diagram 6, orienting theblocks so that the smaller (B) triangles come together in thecenter. Carefullypin togethereach pair ofblocks, matchingthe border printdesign motifs.Sew each pairtogether andpress the seam.Pin, then sew, thepairs together inthe same fashion.Repeat to makenine large units.

Referring to thequilt image on the pattern cover, sew the units together inrows of three units, carefully matching the border print tri-angles. Press, then sew, the three rows together.

Step 6: Make & Add the BordersBorder 2. From the reserved fabric, cut eight strips measur-ing 2¾" x WOF. Sew pairs of strips together end to end tomake four border strips.

Add Borders 1-3 to the quilt using Jinny’s no-math methodby following the instructions for a square quilt and AddingMultiple Borders in Framing a Quilt the Jinny Beyer Way.

Step 7: Quilt & BindLayer the quilt as follows: backing (wrong side up), batting,quilt top (right side up). Baste the layers together and quiltas desired.

When the quilting is completed, trim the backing and bat-ting even with edges of quilt top. Make binding strips usingthe reserved fabric and bind using your favorite bindingmethod or by following the instructions atwww.jinnybeyer.com/promos/binding.

Diagram 1: Mark the miter.

45° LineCenterof quilt

Framing a Square Quilt1. Place a strip of the border print across the middle of the quilt, centering a motiffrom the border at the exact center of the quilt. (Because of minor differences inseam allowances taken and stretching that can occur on bias edges, oppositeedges of a quilt often measure slightly differently. Using a measurementtaken from the middle of the quilt will help keep the quilt from ruffling atthe edges.)

2. To mark the first miter, position a quilter’s ruler so the 45° angle runs along thebottom edge of the border print and the ruler touches the point where the topedge of the border print meets the edge of the quilt. (See arrow in Diagram 1.)Mark then cut the miter line. (Because the miter is cut right at the edge of thequilt, the seam allowance is already included.)

3. Use the mitered angle as a pattern for the other side of the strip as follows.Without disturbing the un-cut side of the strip, bring the mitered side of theborder strip to that side, folding the strip over itself, right sides together. Place thetop edge of miter at the edge of the quilt, adjusting it a bit if necessary so that thedesign motifs on the top and bottom match exactly. Mark and cut this secondmiter. (Using the cut edge, rather than a ruler, as a guide ensures that the designmotifs will be an exact match.)

4. Using this first mitered strip as a guide, cut three more identical pieces, makingsure that the design on the border print is exactly the same on all four pieces.

5. As in Diagram 2, mark seam intersection dots on the short side of each of theborder strips (wrong side of the fabric). To find the spot, simply draw a short line1/4-inch inside the mitered edge and the shorter edge of the border strip. Markthe dot where the two lines intersect. Do the same for each corner of the quilt.

6. To sew the borders to the quilt, pin the mid-point of one of the border pieces tothe middle of one of the edges of the quilt. Next, match and pin the dots on eachside of your border with the dots on the quilt corners. Continue pinning theborder to the quilt, easing in any fullness. (The edge of the quilt is usually a littlewider than the center because of bias edges or seams.) Sew the border to the quilt,starting and stopping at the dots. Repeat for the remaining borders. Pin and sewthe mitered seams last, starting from the inside dot. When pinning the edgestogether, be sure to match the design elements on both pieces.

Diagram 3: Correctly cut and sewnborders will have designs that flowaround the corners.

Diagram 2: Cut three pieces identical to thefirst. Mark seam intersection dots on the quiltand the borders.

Adding Mitered Borders the Jinny Beyer Way

Adding Borders the Jinny Beyer Way - 1

Jinny Beyer’s border prints are designed specifically with the quilter in mind. Each fabric has a wide and a narrow stripe whichcoordinate in both design and color. Both stripes have mirror-image motifs which are essential for perfectly mitered corners.In addition, the two different stripes in the border print are separated by at least a half-inch so that a 1/4" seam allowance isprovided for on both sides of the stripes. From selvedge to selvedge, there are always at least four repeats of each stripe acrossthe fabric so calculating the yardage needed to border a quilt is easy: you need the length of the longest side of the quilt plusan additional half-yard for a square quilt (2/3 yard for a rectangular one) to match design elements and allow for the miters atthe corners.

Diagram 6: Applying multiple borders

Adding Borders the Jinny Beyer Way - 2

Applying Multiple BordersJinny often designs quilts to make full use of the border prints. First, she willframe the quilt with the narrow border stripe, then add a coordinating fabric asa second border. The quilt is finished off with the wide stripe from the border print.

Jinny personally measures and adds each border separately. However, when themiddle border is a fabric that doesn’t have to be matched at the corners, sherecommends the following method as being a little faster: Sew the middleborder to the first (the narrow border print stripe). Measure and cut this unitas a single border in the steps above. (If the quilt is rectangular, sew the middleborder to the first after the first border has been pieced.) Measure, cut and sewthe third border separately after the first two borders have been completed andsewn to the quilt.

Binding the Quilt: When Jinny uses a border print to frame a quilt, she typicallysews the binding to the back of the quilt and turns it to the front. This allows her tocarefully hand-stitch the binding along a straight line printed on the border printfabric. For details, see www.jinnybeyer.com/binding.

Framing a Rectangular QuiltWith rectangles, you cannot always be assured that the designs willautomatically match at the corners so you must take an extra step.

1. First, follow steps 1-3 in Framing a Square Quilt and cut two identicalstrips for the short ends of the quilt (A strips). The pieces for the other twosides of the quilt must be cut differently: for the corners on all pieces tomatch, there must be a seam in these long pieces at the exact center of the quilt.

2. Place one of the A pieces on top of a length of the border print stripe,matching the fabric designs. Cut one miter to match the miter on the A piece.Set the A piece aside. As in Diagram 4, lay the newly cut strip on top of the quiltthrough the center, aligning the mitered edge with the edge of the quilt.Mark the center of the quilt on the strip as shown. Move the strip from thequilt and cut it off ¼" beyond the center mark. Using this cut piece as aguide, cut one more identical piece (These are the B pieces).

You also need two pieces that are theexact mirror images of the B pieces(Br). Lay one of the B pieces rightsides together on a strip of borderprint, matching the fabric designexactly. Cut the miter and straightedge to match the top piece. Using the newly cutpiece as a guide, cut one more identical Br piece.

3. Sew the B/Br pieces together into pairs, and attach these borders to the quilt as inSteps 5 and 6 in Framing a Square Quilt. Sewing the borders to a rectangular quiltin this manner assures that the corners will match. There will be a seam at the centerof the long strips (Diagram 5), but the design at that center will mirror-image as well,allowing the design to flow around the quilt.
