FROM THE LIGHT AND DARK COLORED PRINTS FOR THE BOBBLES *
FOR TWIN
• Cut 5 light and 5 dark: 7″ strips for the large bobble halves
• Cut 4 light and 4 dark: 6″ strips for the medium bobble halves
• Cut 4 light and 4 dark: 4″ strips for the small bobble halves
FOR FULL/QUEEN
• Cut 6 light and 6 dark: 7″ strips for the large bobble halves
• Cut 8 light and 8 dark: 6″ strips for the medium bobble halves
• Cut 6 light and 6 dark: 4″ strips for the small bobble halves
FOR KING
• Cut 7 light and 7 dark: 7″ strips for the large and small bobble halves
• Cut 15 light and 15 dark: 6″ strips for the medium and small bobble halves
* Each bobble is made up of 2 halves, 1 of light and 1 of dark fabric, stitched together. You will be cutting strips of the light and dark fabrics in this step and stitching them together in step 7. Cut or rip strips along the crosswise grain of the fabric. To rip strips of fabric, first measure the length you need along the selvage edge ( see page 171 for an explanation of the selvage edge) of your fabric and make a clip into the selvage edge with your scissors. Then pull your fabric apart from either side of the clip. If you pull fast enough you can rip through the other selvage edge, or you may choose to stop at the selvage and clip the end of the fabric apart.
FROM THE INTERFACING
• Cut out the bobble pattern piece in the pocket at the front of this book. Make a pattern piece for each size bobble, using the pattern piece as a guide. Fold a piece of the freezer paper in half and place the bobble pattern piece on the folded edge as indicated on the pattern piece. Cut along the outlines for the large size. Repeat to make pattern pieces for the other 2 sizes. Unfold the freezer-paper pattern pieces. Then fold the interfacing in half lengthwise and place the pattern pieces (with the edge to be placed on the fold) on the fold of the interfacing, pinning them in place. Using your scissors, cut out each piece according to the outline on the pattern piece and the quantities given below.

b. In order to keep your pieces organized, mark each piece by writing the name on a piece of masking tape and attaching to the Wrong side of each panel as it is cut.
Step 3. Lay out the foundation pieces you cut out in step 2.
Lay out your pieces in place according to FIGURE 3 , placing them with the Right sides facing up. ( FIGURE 3 )
Step 4. Attach the patchwork pieces together across each row.
NOTE: The seams in the patchwork of the foundation are all 1 / 4 ″. It is important to remember this to ensure the correct size of the foundation after the piecing is complete.
Starting at the top left corner of your layout, take the first 2 pieces in the top row and place them Right sides together. Stitch a 1 / 4 ″ seam down the side edges and press the seam allowances to one side. Continue across the first row until all of the pieces are attached, pressing the seam allowances toward the same side. Then, place the entire row of attached pieces back in order in your layout. Repeat this step to attach all of the pieces in each of the rest of the rows and lay them back in place.
