1. Layer the backing wrong side up, followed by the batting and quilt top right side up. Baste and quilt as desired.

2. Trim the excess batting and backing and square up the quilt.

3. Join the binding strips together with diagonal seams. Trim and press seams open.

4. Once all of the strips are sewn together, fold the binding in half lengthwise, wrong sides together, and press flat. Sew the binding to your quilt by lining up the raw edges.

5. After the binding is sewn onto one side of the quilt, fold it over to the other side and either machine stitch or whip-stitch the binding to attach it and finish off the edges of the quilt.

6. Post your finished quilt to Instagram and use #LittleHousesQuilt.

FINISHING THE QUILT

Fig. 4

dog ear

1. Pair up all 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangles with their coordinating 3 7/8" triangles.

2. Place right sides together and sew a 1/4" seam. Press the seam and trim the dog ears. Fig. 4

3. Continue sewing, pressing and trimming until all 77 blocks are completed.

BLOCK ASSEMBLY

1. Referring to the cover photo, sew blocks into horizontal rows. Press the seams of neighboring rows in opposite directions so that seams nestle together. When joined seams sit on top of each other going the same direction, excess bulk is created.

2. Pin and sew the horizontal rows together. Fig. 5

3. Pin and sew 2 of the 3 1/2" x WOF strips to the vertical sides of the quilt top. Allow the selvages to hang off the sides.

4. Once the strips are sewn and pressed, use a ruler and rotary cutter to trim the excess.

5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 by pinning and sewing the remaining 3 1/2" x WOF strips to the top and bottom of the quilt top. Press the seams and trim the excess.

TEMPL ATE IS 100% TO SCALE

Do not add a 1/4" to this template.

If you would prefer to not use a template, line up a 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangle with the grid on a cutting mat. Place the edge of your ruler at the 3 1/2" marker and also at the corner of the rectangle. With a rotary cutter, cut from 3 1/2" to the corner.
