Plan!
All fabrics in Heidi's delightful quilt are from her Doodlebugs collection for Fabri-Quilt. What a cheerful bunch! Notice that the novelty rows in the quilt center are each cut from a different colored stripe (from the same print), and that 2 wavy lines are centered in each strip.
To properly orient the directional print in the outer border, side strips were cut on the lengthwise grain. If you choose a non-directional print for your outer border, you can cut all the outer border strips from width of fabric (WOF) strips and you will need only 1 yd. of this fabric.
Cut!
Note: Cutting instructions for the appliqué shapes are given on templates in the Pattern Section.
