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 – 2.5″ x 4.5″
2 – 2.5″ x 6.5″
4 – 1.5″ x 12.5″
Background:
1- 4.5″ square
2 – 2.5″ x 8.5″
2 – 2.5″ x 10.5″
1. Sew the 2.5″ x 4.5″ print rectangle to the 4.5″ solid square. Sew the 2.5″ x 6.5″ print rectangles to the top and bottom of this unit.
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!

Oops, that’s my bad – I thought I had edited all the posts, but this one escaped somehow! Sorry! Yes, the border strips are supposed to all be 12.5″ long.
