Nine Patch Table Topper Quilt Pattern - Picking Background Fabric

Part Three

Background fabric

The best way is to.....just lay it all out 

This purple paisley is the one I thought would work?

NO.

Rust

Darker, deeper purple

WHICH ONE ?

The Quilt Ladies Store

I went with the rust color, border, not liking.

Cut 4 Squares - 2 3/4" x 2 3/4"

Cut 4 Squares - 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" Cut from Corner to Corner Half Triangles
these are your edge triangles

Cut 1 Squares - 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" 
Cut from Corner to Corner and again
Cut from Corner to Corner  Quarter Triangles 

TIP:

When cutting your corners and side triangles, I always cut them 1/2" to 3/4" larger then needed. Fabric does not stretch and I just cut it down.

Next Sewing center together
