![Page 3: Sudoku Quilt Step By Step Instructions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052906/558bdcf9d8b42ade058b46a9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Hints

squares/blocks and leave them for as long as you need
• keep your wits about you• accuracy is important• ironing is important -- “press for success!”

Cutting Fabric – the Squares
• Cut fabric into squares as needed– you’ll need a total of 81 squares– 9 of each color– remember – we’ll be sharing squares!
![Page 5: Sudoku Quilt Step By Step Instructions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052906/558bdcf9d8b42ade058b46a9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Pin One Square of Each Fabriconto a Piece of Paper
• number each square– do NOT write on the fabric!
• this will be your master list– you’ll use this as your guide to make your first
eight blocks– you will use these “master” squares for your
last (ninth) block

Pick Your Arrangement
• pick the of sudoku grid of numbers you’d like to use– remember, each number corresponds to one
of your fabric squares
• there are nine blocks within the grid
• print your grid
perhaps this one?

Label Each Block with a Letter
![Page 9: Sudoku Quilt Step By Step Instructions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052906/558bdcf9d8b42ade058b46a9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
#1 Sewing
• I’ll make the “A” block first
• I’ll arrange my numbered fabrics like this
![Page 10: Sudoku Quilt Step By Step Instructions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052906/558bdcf9d8b42ade058b46a9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
#2 Sewing
• Because of the numbered grid of this block, I’ll sew– fabrics #1 and #2 and #3 together
• I’ll iron their seams toward the right (toward fabric #3)– I don’t press seams open much any more
– fabrics #4, 5, and 6 will be sewn together• I’ll iron seams toward the left (toward fabric #4)
– fabrics #7, 8, and 9 will be sewn together• I’ll iron seams toward the right (toward fabric #9)
– I’ll now have 3 rows sewn and ironed
![Page 11: Sudoku Quilt Step By Step Instructions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052906/558bdcf9d8b42ade058b46a9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
My Rows
arrow indicate direction that the seams are pressed

#3 Sewing
• Sew the top row of this block (fabrics 1-2-3) to the middle (fabrics 4-5-6) row– make sure to keep the correct orientation
• i.e., fabric #1 should be on top of fabric #4; 2 on top of 5, etc.
– iron this seam toward the bottom of the block
• Sew the bottom strip on (fabrics 7-8-9)– again, be careful
• fabric #4 is on top of fabric #7; 5 is on top of 8, etc.
– iron this seam toward the bottom
• you should find that the seams within each row “lock” together with the row below – that’s because we alternated ironing direction. Very cool.

My Block
This block is actually straighter than it looks, the picture was taken at a bit of an angle. Your block should be nice and square.

#4 Sewing• take finished block (block “A”) and label it
– pin a piece of paper to your block• do not use tape as we’ll be ironing a lot
• be careful ironing pins with plastic heads!
– Include the “A” letter, and the direction the block lays• which way is “up”?
– write on the label before you pin it to the fabric• it’s be horrible if your ink oozed through onto your fabric
• BE CAREFUL– be sure to label the correct block with the correct letter– be sure and keep the block oriented in the correct direction
• if the block gets rotated then the “sudoku-ness” of the quilt will not work

My Labeled Block
![Page 16: Sudoku Quilt Step By Step Instructions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052906/558bdcf9d8b42ade058b46a9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Continue!
• keep on sewing blocks (A – I) being very careful to label each one and to keep its orientation correct
• refer constantly to your master sheet – the ones with the sample fabrics pinned and numbered
• refer constantly to your number grid– mark off each block as you complete it
![Page 17: Sudoku Quilt Step By Step Instructions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052906/558bdcf9d8b42ade058b46a9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Block “A” done, only eight left to go!

Oops?
• no one is perfect– that’s why we have seam rippers
• there are no Quilt Police• I once heard that “only God is perfect” and
you should intentionally include an error so you’re not trying to take God’s place– at least it makes a good excuse?
• and let’s face it – I’d challenge someone to find a mistake in a sudoku quilt!

Bottom Sashing
• cut 6 pieces of bottom sashing the correct size
• sew a sashing strip to the bottom of blocks A, B, C, D, E and F– do not sew any bottom sashing
on blocks G, H, or I
• iron toward the bottom of the block – toward the bottom sashing
a bottom sashing strip
hint: do not remove your pinned-on block labels!

My Quilt with Side Borders
