You need-

Front: 45 in. of fabric (just over a yard)

Back: 45 in. of fabric

Stripes: 9- 2.5 inch strips of cute contrasting fabric

Big Ric Rac: 90 inches

Small Ric Rac: 180 inches

Binding: 15 inches (or 6- 2.5 inch strips)

Directions-

Use spray basting to connect the batting to the back and the front pieces of fabric.

On the front, pin...

Sew to the top using 1/2 in. seams on the fabric. (This attaches the strip AND quilts the quilt.)

Attach the binding using a 1/2 in. seam... just iron the binding in half and sew it on leaving the raw edges. (See the picture.)

Note: The first time you wash it, there will be a tangled mess from fray. Trim the threads and next time you wash you'll be fine. Don't forget to wash it BEFORE giving it as a gift!!

Easy. Peasy.

love it.
