Fruit Stripe Gum Part 2

Ready to sew...here we go!

Here are the cut NFNW (non fusible/non woven) interfacing squares

Take your sorted strips of fabric (remember to sort by color)

Take a square of NFNW interfacing, lay it down on the flat surface, on the diagonal.

Place a white fabric strip in the center right side up, and lay a colored strip on top of it, right side down, stitch (1/4'' seam allowance), press open. **Important note: Reduce the heat of the iron to medium when pressing open the strips.  A too hot iron will cause the NFNW interfacing to shrivel.

Add another strip of white, stitch, press open

Continue to add fabric until the entire block is covered. 

Here are the colors, and # of blocks included in the Fruit Strip Gum Quilt:

Yellow 5

Green 5

Orange 4

Pink 5

Blue 6

Purple 5
 
 Next Thursday, trimming blocks!

If you have any questions, leave me a comment, and I'll answer them in the comment section as well.

Thanks for joining me, and remember to have FUN!!!

Gracias amiga, si Dios quiere comenzare el fin de semana. He separado algunas tiras de colores pasteles, pero me faltan algunos de los colores que mencionas, veré que consigo en mi chatarra y trataré de equilibrar los colores.

WHat is NFNW interfacing ? I am not good with figuring out initials for words. Is this a non fusible interfacing? Love your patterns. I have a stash of fabrics that I have been unwilling to cut, but now that I see your "I DO" pattern, I have something to use them with...would paisley prints look good in that quilt?
