Plan!
Rhoda used an assortment of 1930s prints, manufactured by RJR Fabrics, for her quilt. The yellow texture and purple small floral border yardages are sufficient for cutting a set of basket fabrics from each in case you wish to use these fabrics for two baskets, as Rhoda did.
If you use a controlled number of assorted prints, you may wish to construct the nine-patches from strip sets. To do so, cut 1 1/2" strips and cut the segments 1 1/2" wide. |
