Fabric Cutting For Paper Pieces:

Paper Pieces: Assortment of fat quarters or scraps Background: 3/8 yard cut into three 12-1/2" squares Sashing: 1/4 yard cut into four 2" strips subcut two of the strips into four 2" x 12-1/2" strips Inner Border: 1/8 yard cut into three 1-1/2" strips Outer Border: 1/2 yard cut into four 4" strips Backing: 55" x 28" Batting: 55" x 28" Binding: 1/3 yard cut into four 2-1/2" strips

Lay your Paper Pieces on the wrong side of the fabric and cut around at LEAST 1/4" bigger. Use a dab of fabric glue at this point to temporarily adhere your paper to the fabric for easier basting later.

Quilt Assembly 1) Baste your pieces according to the basic instruction sheet. 2) For the rst block, center the 5-1/2" Egg on the background square. Pin and appliqué in place. (Fig.1)

3) For the second block, line up the 2-1/4" Eggs as desired along the bottom of the background square. Pin and appliqué in place. (Fig.2) 4) For the third block, arrange the 3-1/2" Eggs in a circle on the background square. Pin and appliqué in place. (Fig.3) 5)After each piece has been appliquéd onto a background square, turn to the back side of each block and cut the background fabric 1/4” inside the appliqué stitching lines and remove it. (It is easy to do as the papers will keep you from cutting through the front fabric.) Pull the basting threads and remove the papers from the back side. Paper Pieces©
