    Project Notes

    Read all instructions before beginning this project. Stitch right sides together using a ¼ seam allowance unless otherwise specified. Refer to a favorite quilting guide for specific techniques. Materials and cutting lists assume 40 of usable fabric width.

    Cutting

    Prepare a template for the A triangle using pattern given. Mark the dot on the seam allowance at the tip on the template.

    From each fat quarter:

    •Cut 8 A triangles from each fat quarter (160 total) using the prepared template. Stack and pin in matching sets of 4 triangles.

    •Cut a total of 68 (3 x 6½) G rectangles.

    From coordinating stripe:

    •Cut 7 (2¼" by fabric width) binding strips.

    From white solid:

    •Cut 4 (3¾" by fabric width) strips.

    Subcut strips into 40 (3¾") squares. Cut each square in half on 1 diagonal to make 80 B triangles.

    •Cut 1 (10½" by fabric width) strip.

    Subcut strip into 15 (1¾ x 10½) C strips.

    •Cut 5 (1¾" by fabric width) D strips.

    •Cut 3 (2⅝" by fabric width) E strips.

    •Cut 3 (3" by fabric width) F strips.

    •Cut 2 (3" by fabric width) strips.

    Subcut strips into 4 each 3 x 8½ J strips, 3 x 6 H strips and 3" I squares.

    Here’s a Tip

    Block pieces are cut on the bias. To help prevent stretching of pieces during piecing, apply spray starch or sizing to the wrong side of fabrics before cutting.

    Completing the Blocks

    1. To complete one Surfside block, select two different-color sets of four matching A triangles and four B triangles.

    2. Join one A triangle from each fabric to make an A unit, stopping stitching at the inside point on the marked dot as shown in Figure 1; press. Repeat to make a total of four A units.

    3. Join two A units to make half the block, again stopping at the marked point as shown in Figure 2; press. Repeat to make the second half of the block.

    4. Join the two block halves, stopping stitching at the marked dots to complete the center section as shown in Figure 3.
