Sewing Instructions

Prep:Place 13 Kona Curry strips and 13 Kona White strips in a pile together. Create a separate pile for the remaining 5 Kona Curry and 5 Kona White strips.

Step 1: Make Strip Panels

Take your pile of 26 strips and begin sewing the Kona Curry and Kona White strips together, using a gentle curving motion. Iron seams open.

When 5-6 strips are sewn together, “square up” the section (If the sections do not get “squared up” every few strips, the whole quilt top will be warped.) The length will vary depending on how deep the curves are have been sewn.

Continue sewing sections of 5-6 strips. When all 26 strips have been sewn into sections and “squared up”, sew the sections to each other, using a regular, straight, ¼ inch seam. (The straight seams will keep the top from warping.)

Repeat Step 1 for the remaining 10 strips to create a second panelfor the bottom section of the quilt top.

Step 2: Make Herringbone Panel

Sew together the two black stripe strips, to create the herringbone shape.

Finished rectangle will measure 8” x 25 1/2”

Step 3: Square Up Panels

“Square up” your first set of solid and white strips to 22 1/2” x 25 1/2” (the 22 1/2” may vary, depending on how the gentle curves were sewn).

Repeat for the second set of strips, approximately 7 1/2” x 25 1/2”.

Step 4: Piece Quilt Top

Sew the first set of strips (22 1/2” x 25 1/2”) to the herringbone panel, making sure the white side of the strip panel is sewn to the herringbone panel.

Repeat with the second set of strips (7 1/2” x 25 1/2”) adding them to the bottom of the herringbone, with the white strip sewn to the herringbone.

You will use a regular, ¼ inch seam when sewing these sections together.
