Cut Fabrics and Supplies

We’ve selected 10 Riley Blake Confetti Cotton Fabrics Fat Quarters. These high – quality solid fabrics make beautiful quilts and fused art!

• Choose ten fat quarters for Fusible Fun Art front:

• From each Fat Quarter: Cut one 8″ x 21″/22″ crosswise fabric strip.

• Cut one 20″ x 20″ square from backing fabric, or seam together two fat quarters, we chose Key Lime.

• Cut ten 8″ x 22″ rectangles from Wonder-Under.

• Cut one 20″ x 20″ square from Pellon Peltex One-Sided Fusible Ultra-Firm Stabilizer.

Create Fusible Fun Art Components

• Following manufacturer’s instructions, press Pellon Wonder-Under Interfacing to wrong side of one 8″ x 21″/22″ crosswise fabric strip. Note: Do not use steam.

To protect iron sole plate and ironing board from fusible web residue, use June Tailor’s Non-Stick Teflon Appliqué Pressing Sheet!

• Repeat step above for remaining nine 8″ x 21″/22″ crosswise fabric strips.

• Using a rotary cutter, ruler and mat, subcut one crosswise fabric strip into two 4″ x 21″/22″ rectangles.

• Subcut one 4″ x 21″/22″ rectangle into 4″ squares.

• Repeat steps above for remaining nine 4″ x 22″ rectangles.

• On the Wonder-Under side of the second 4″ x 21″/22″ rectangle, draw 3″ circles using a pencil and Clover’s 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge.

Optional: Trace 3″ a circle on Templar Heat Resistant Template Material and create a reusable template!

• Using a 6-3/4″ Bordeaux Ultimate Scissors, cut out circles.

• Repeat steps above for remaining nine 4″ x 22″ rectangles.

You’re the designer! Audition your fabric squares and circles and create a layout.
We’ve arranged our layout as shown:

• Position 20″ x 20″ square of Peltex rough side up, layer 20″ x 20″ square backing fabric to wrong side/rough side of Peltex.
• Using an iron and non-stick pressing sheet, fuse backing fabric to Peltex. Turn assembly over.

Assemble Fusible Fun Art Quilt

• Using Clover’s Supersize 5-in-1 Sliding Gauge and fabric marking pen, find and mark the vertical and horizontal center of the 20″ x 20″ Peltex square.

• Remove Wonder-Under paper backing from fabric squares. Place one fabric square over center marking and fuse into place – using an iron and non-stick pressing sheet.

• Working clockwise around center square, fuse remaining squares in place, one at a time, making sure to overlap edges of each fabric square – with scant 1/4″ overlap.

You’re the designer! You may begin placing circles in the center, as shown, or choose to randomly position circles as you’d like!

• Remove Wonder-Under paper backing from fabric circles. Place one fabric circle in center of the center square.

• Working clockwise around center square, fuse circles in place – one at a time – using non-stick pressing sheet.

• Using a rotary cutter, ruler and mat, trim excess Peltex and fabric from outer edges – and square your Fusible Fun Art Quilt!

Optional: Using Clover’s Ultimate Quilt ’n Stitch Presser Foot, Sulky 12 wt. Cotton Blendables Thread and Schmetz Denim Needles Size 90, and quilt your Fusible Fun Art Quilt with straight-line machine quilting!

• Your Fusible Fun Art Quilt Wall Hanging is complete!
