Symphony Preparation Because the pieces for this quilt are oversized, there are two printing options. Take the file to an office supply store and have them printed out on oversized paper, or print out the templates on your home printer using the poster or tiling function, then tape the pieces together. (Consult your printer instructions if necessary.) Be sure to print out the templates at the actual size, using the sizing box for accuracy. Cut out all the templates.

Cutting WOF = Width of Fabric, QST=Quarter-square Triangle If using fusible web, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to trace, fuse, and cut the required amount of each template EXCEPT 2, 6, 8, 9, 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, and 27. Use a spray starch or starch alternative for these template pieces before cutting. Before cutting multiple pieces from one fabric, draw all the pieces onto the fabric, nesting the pieces closely together. Fabric A, cut: (8) Template 1 (8) Template 15 Fabric B, cut: (8) 17” x WOF (43.18cm); sub-cut (8) 45° diamonds (1) 241⁄2” (62.23cm) square; cut twice diagonally to make (4) QST (4) 237⁄8” (60.64cm) squares

Fabric E, cut: (8) Template 2 (16) Template 23 Fabric F, cut: (9) 21⁄4” x WOF (5.72cm x WOF), for binding Fabric G, cut: (4) Template 8 (8) Template 16 (8) Template 22 Fabric H, cut: (4) Template 9 (1) Template 26 (8) Template 27 (8) Template 28

Sewing All seam allowances are 1⁄4” (.64cm) and pieces are sewn right sides together. Press all seams as indicated by arrows in the diagrams. Appliqué using a narrow zigzag or blanket stitch and matching thread. If using fusible web, fuse according to manufacturer’s directions before stitching. Templates are layered in numerical order. Asterisks on the template indicate the side with 1⁄4” (.64cm) seam allowance. Layered templates include a 1⁄8” (.32cm) seam allowance where applicable. Squares (Fig. 1 on page 5) 1. With a 237⁄8” (60.64cm) Fabric B square right side up, pin and appliqué Templates 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to one corner of the square. Repeat for the remaining (3) squares. 2. Pin and appliqué Templates 6, 7, 8, and 9 to the opposite corner of the Fabric B squares. 3. Pin and appliqué (1) Template 10 to each remaining corner of the Fabric B squares, then appliqué (2) Fabric J Template 11 and (3) Fabric I Template 11 as shown. Set the squares aside. Triangles (Fig. 2 on page 5) With a Fabric B QST right side up, pin and appliqué Templates 1, 2, 3, 4, 12, 13, and 14 as shown. Repeat for the remaining (3) QST. 4.

Sew the Star Quarters together with the QST, using the same Y-seam technique to make the Star Halves. 10. Sew the Star Halves together to make the quilt top center (Fig. 5 on page 8). 11.

Finishing 12. Sew together the (9) 21⁄4” x WOF (5.72cm x WOF) Fabric F binding strips end to end using diagonal seams. Press the seams open. Press the binding strip in half wrong sides together. 13. Layer the backing (wrong side up), batting, and quilt top (right side up). Baste the layers together and quilt as desired. Trim excess batting and backing even with the top after quilting is completed. 14. Leaving an 8” (20.32cm) tail of binding, sew binding to top of quilt through all layers matching all raw edges. Miter corners. Stop approximately 12” (30.48cm) from where you started. Lay both loose ends of binding flat along quilt edge. Where these two loose ends meet, fold them back on themselves and press to form a crease. Using this crease as your stitching line, sew the two open ends of the binding together right sides together. Trim seam to 1⁄4” (.64cm) and press open. Finish sewing binding to the quilt. 15. Turn the binding to the back of quilt and hand-stitch in place.
