Project Notes
Read all instructions before beginning this project.
Stitch right sides together using a " seam allowance unless otherwise specified.
Materials and cutting lists assume 40" of usable fabric width.
Designers Tip
Cut the longest rectangles (16" and 12 ") first and then use the remainder of the strips for smaller pieces. To increase variety, cut one long piece from each dark/medium strip.
Cutting
The cutting list and instructions steps will make five identical Modern Music 1 blocks and four identical Modern Music 2 blocks. Refer to the Designers Tip for hints to change value placement from block to block and adjust your cutting as needed.
From dark tonal & print strips (approximately 15):
Cut 10 (2" x 16") E, 14 (2" x 12") D, 4 (2" x 8") C, 8 (2" x 6") F and 12 (2" x 4") B rectangles, and 10 (2") A squares.
From medium tonal & print strips (approximately 13):
Cut 4 (2" x 16") E, 10 (2" x 12") D, 8 (2" x 8") C, 8 (2" x 6") F and 8 (2" x 4") B rectangles, and 34 (2") A squares.
From light tonal & print strips (approximately 12):
Cut 20 (2" x 8") C, 8 (2" x 6") F and 14 (2" x 4") B rectangles, and 8 (2") A squares.
From light print:
Cut 6 (2" by fabric width) G/H strips.
From dark print:
Cut 6 (4" by fabric width) I/J strips.
Cut 7 (2" by fabric width) strips for binding.
Completing the Blocks
Referring to Figure 1, sew a medium A square to a dark A square to make a row; press. Repeat to make two rows. Stitch rows together to make an A unit; press.
Sew a light B rectangle to opposite sides of the A unit as shown in Figure 2; press. Sew a light C rectangle to top and bottom to make an A-B-C unit; press.
In the same manner, referring to Figure 3, add light C rectangles to opposite sides of the A-B-C unit, medium D rectangles to the top and bottom, dark D rectangles to the sides and dark E rectangles to the top and bottom to complete a Modern Music 1 block; press seams toward each rectangle when added.
Repeat steps 13 to make a total of five Modern Music 1 blocks, changing value placement from block to block, if desired (see Designers Tip).
Designers Tip
The designations of dark, medium and light are subjective. You may want to substitute and change the values of the rectangles and squares for the A units and two inner rings in the blocks. To maintain the pattern, use similar values of fabric in each ring and keep the outermost ring a darker value.
Referring to Figure 4, sew four medium A squares together in a row; press. Sew a medium C rectangle to one long side to make an A-C unit; press.
Sew a dark B rectangle to opposite sides of the A-C unit; press. Stitch a dark D rectangle to the bottom as shown in Figure 5; press.
In the same manner, add a light F rectangle to opposite sides of the A-B-C-D unit and a medium E rectangle to the bottom to complete the top section (Figure 6); press.
