Easy As ABC QAL: Letter A

Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start! The first Friday of each month I will be sharing five patterns for five letters. You can find all the other posts for each letter’s pattern here. Read through the pattern thoroughly, use a 1/4″ seam and press all seams open unless otherwise stated.

What you will need
Print: 
1 – 6.5″ square
2 – 2.5″ square
4 – 1.5″ x 12.5″
 
Background:
1 – 2.5″ square
2 – 2.5″ x 8.5″
2 – 2.5″ x 10.5″

1. Sew the 2.5″ print squares to each side of the solid square. Sew this unit to the large 6.5″ print square.

2. Sew the 2.5″ x 8.5″ strips of background fabric to the sides of the letter, followed by the 2.5″ x 10.5″ strips to the top and bottom of the letter. Trim to 10.5″ x 12.5″.

3. Sew the 1.5″ x 12.5″ strips of print to the sides of the letter, followed by the top and bottom of the letter. Trim to 12.5″ x 14.5″ and press.

If you make something from this pattern, please feel free to share it in the Flickr group or tag it #easyasabcqal on Instagram. And don’t forget to come back and link up this month’s progress and be in the running for some great prizes!
