Diagram 2

2½"

Diagram 4: Alternate BlockMake 25 blocks measuring 5½" square.

1

Please read the entire pattern before beginning. All seamallowances are ¼-inch. Press all seams after sewing. LOF =Length of Fabric.

Step 1: Organize & Cut the StripsThe charm square set includes 150 fabrics in shaded order. Itis very important that you keep them in order. You mightchoose to number them with chalk, painter’s tape or a stickylabel. You can also refer to the Palette Collection FabricGuide to identify the fabrics.

The quilt uses 144 of the 150 squares Remove square num-bers 31, 48, 83, 87, 98 and 120 from the set.

From each remaining square, cut one strip measuring 2" x 4".(Tip: Cut the fabrics in stacks of four since each block uses fourfabric strips.)

Step 2: Cut the FabricsCut the fabric as follows:Fabric 1 (Black). Refer to the Fabric 1 Cutting Layout onthe back cover and cut the strips and squares indicated.Fabric 2.• four strips measuring 1½" x LO (or 54") for Border 2*• one strip measuring 2½" x LOF (or 67") for center

squares*Fabric 3.• four strips measuring 2" x LOF (or 57") for Border 3*

*If you are not using a kit, piece sufficient WOF strips tomake the lengths indicated.

Step 3: Make the A BlocksSew the first block following the A Block Sewing Instructionsbelow, using the first four fabrics (Palette #s 1-4) in the set.Label it Block 1. Make the remaining 35 blocks in the samefashion, labeling each blocks in order. The fabrics are alwaysused in order and they are always added to the center squareclockwise. Blocks measure5½" including seam allow-ance.

A Block Sewing Instruc-tions. Referring to Diagram1, sew the first swatch tothe 2½" black square with apartial seam: with rightsides together, line up thetop and right edges of thepatches and sew from thecenter of the black square

Harlequin Charm is an easy-to-make quilt that sparkles with almost every fabric in Jinny Beyer’s 150-piece Quilter’s Palette fabriccollection. The quilt is perfect for quilters of any skill level.

Step 4: Make Alternate BlocksSew a 2" x 65" Fabric 1 framing strip to each long side ofthe 2½" wide Fabric 2 strip. Cut the strip into 2½" pieces asin Diagram 2, making 25 units.

As in Diagram 3, sew the units to the 75"black framing strips. (You will need two 75"strips for 25 units.) Repeat, sewing the oppo-site side of the units to the remaining 75"framing strips. Cut between the units to sepa-rate the blocks (Diagram 4).

Diagram 3

Step 5: Assemble the QuiltLay out the quilt blocks on a flat surface, following the orderin the Quilt Assembly diagram on page 2. Please note thatthe blocks in every other column are rotated 180°. (Theblock label marks the top of each block.)

Sew the blocks together in diagonal rows, adding a Fabric 1setting triangle to each end block. Sew the rows togetherand sew a Fabric 1 corner triangle to each corner.

to the end of the patch 1 . Flip Swatch 1 right side out andpress. Sew Swatch 2 to the unit you just made 2 , flip andpress. Continue in this way, sewing four patches to the cen-ter square. After Swatch 4 is sewn, complete the Swatch 1partial seam 5 .

Step 6: Make & Add the BordersFold each border strip in half lengthwise to find the center and crease. Matching thecreases, sew the strips together in the order shown, right, to make four multi-fabricborder pieces. (The ends will not be even.) Press the seams of two border piecestoward the narrow black strip and two toward the wide black strip.

Make and sew the borders to the quilt, referring to following the instructions inJinny Beyer’s No-Math Method for Perfectly Mitered Borders. Be sure to orient theborder strips so that the narrow black strip will be cut shortest!

Step 7: Finish the QuiltLayer the quilt as follows: backing (wrong side up), batting, quilt top (right side up). Baste the layers together, and quilt asdesired.

When quilting is completed, trim backing and batting even with quilt top edges.

Make binding strips using the reserved black fabric. Bind the quilt using your favorite binding method or by following theinstructions in Binding a Quilt the Jinny Beyer Way at www.jinnybeyer.com/promos/binding.

On the wrong side of each border, draw a short line marking the ¼-inch seam line along the short side of the border strip and the angledside. You will match this seam intersection point with the dots markedon the quilt corners.

45°

2 2

To make the borders for the top/bottom of the quilt,lay one of the shorter border strips across the centerof the quilt horizontally as in the illustration below.(If you are bordering a square quilt, all the borderswill be the same size.)

Why the center of the quilt? Since the outside edges of aquilt top often get stretched and opposite sides oftenmeasure slightly differently, using a measurement takenfrom the middle of the quilt will help keep the quilt from“ruffling” at the edges.

To mark the first miter, position a right-angle triangleso that one of the sides of the right angle runs alongthe bottom edge of the border strip. Then carefullymove the triangle until the angled side touches thepoint where the top edge of the border meets theedge of the quilt. (If you are using a quilter’s ruler,align the 45° line along the bottom edge of the bor-der strip.)

Mark then cut the 45° miter line. Repeat on theother side. Because the miter is cut right at the edgeof the quilt, the seam allowance is already included.Repeat to cut a second strip or use the first as a pat-tern. These are the top and bottom border strips.

Jinny Beyer’s No-Math Method for Perfectly Mitered BordersJinny has developed a simple way to cut and sew mitered quilt borders — no tape measures required. This method works for rectan-gular or square quilts; a rectangular quilt is illustrated here.

Position the ruler carefully so the angle starts right at the edge of thequilt top 1 . The 45° line of a quilter’s ruler or the base of a right-angle triangle should be flush with the bottom edge of the borderstrip 2 . Mark the mitered angles on the border strips then cut.

Repeat the process, this time laying a longer border strip vertically across the center of the quilt. Cut two strips in this fashionfor the sides of the quilt.

On the wrong side of the fabric of all four border pieces, mark the seam intersection point with a dot. Do the same for all fourcorners of the quilt top.

Working one strip at a time, pin the border to the quilt center, matching the dots on the border and the quilt and easing inany fullness. Sew the border strips to the quilt top, stopping and starting at the dots. Lastly, pin the angled border edgestogether, carefully matching the seams if the border strips are made from multiple fabrics. Sew the miter seams, starting at thedot and locking the stitches at the beginning and end of the seams.
