Initial Pattern and Fabric Cuts
Make the Initial Pattern
To personalize this quilt for the recipient, choose a font on your computer, type the desired letter, and enlarge it to approximately 8" wide to create a pattern for the initial.
Cut the Fabrics
To make the best use of your fabrics, cut the pieces in the order that follows. Click on “Download this Project" to download the full-size appliqué patterns. To use fusible web for appliquéing, as was done in this project, complete the following steps.
1. Lay fusible web, paper side up, over the patterns. Use a pencil to trace each pattern the number of times indicated, leaving 1/2" between tracings. Cut out each piece roughly 1/4" outside the traced lines.
2. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, press the fusible-web shapes onto the wrong side of the designated fabrics; let cool. Cut out the fabric shapes on the drawn lines. Peel off the paper backings.
