Quilt Top Layouts

On the following pages are the six quilt top layouts as well as instructions for making a sampler-style quilt. Each layout provides a unique arrangement of seven 8" blocks and includes a table that provides the information of how many of each block you’ll need to make for each size. Think of it like a painting by numbers exercise (or a cross-stitch chart) where the “paint color” is a block and the “numbers” are the letters!

Once you’ve decided on a size and layout, use the Fabric Planner Worksheet to fill in the details before moving on to the next step of looking up yardage requirements (Yardage Planner Worksheet) and cutting instructions (Cutting Planner Worksheet).

Don't forget that these quantities might change if you decide to shake things up and customize your corners (or center or anywhere else).
