Fabrics And Materials
4 Fat quarters each a different and fun fabric print, sew strips and cut the patch blocks that way.
Or you could use 1 charm pack and cut 5 "squares in 2 squares of 2 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches. You'll need a total of 81 x 2 1/2 "squares. This will give you nine 6 1/2 "squared 9 patch blocks.
For the Backing: Solid color cut 27 "x 27"
For the front border cut from the same fabric as the backing fabric:
- Cut 4 strips 27 "x 3" wide.
Lightweight Batting: cut 27 "x 27"
Backing: cut 27 "x 27"
For the windows that border the 9 patch block:
Cut 6 strips 6 "x 1 1/4"
And 6 strips 22 1/2 "x 1 1/4"
For the arms: White or light solid color: Cut 2 rectangles 6 "x 3"
For the legs: White or light solid color: Cut 2 rectangles 7 "x 3"
A Pair of googley eyes.
Make nine 9 patch blocks with the 2 1/2 "x 2 1/2" squares. This will give you a 6 1/2 inch block. If you're not familiar with making a patch, I put a video below to show you an easy way to make the block.
With fabric right sides together, stitch one 6 "x 1 1/4 inch strip down the right side of the block. Repeat for the next block.
With fabric right sides together, stitch two blocks together, then another to make a row of three. Press.
Make another two rows of blocks in the same way.
Take the first row of blocks. With fabric right sides together stitch one strip of 22 1/2 "x 1 1/4" across the length of the three blocks. Press.
With fabric right sides together stitch the next row of blocks to the same strip. Stitch a strip of 22 1/2 "x 1 1/4" to that block. Press. Finally stitch the next row of blocks to the same strip. You now have the nine 9 patch blocks in frames.
Stitch one 22 1/2 "x 1 1/4" strip down the right side of the quilt top. Then stitch one 22 1/2 "x 1 1/4" strip down the left side. Press seams. Repeat with the top and bottom of the quilt top, always stitching fabrics right sides together. Press.
Lay the quilt top down with right side facing upwards. Lay the batting next, then lay the backing fabric down with wrong side of fabric facing upwards. Stitch all four sides. Stop stitching leaving the last 10 inches of the quilt open. Turn right side out by feeding the quilt through the open section. Stitch 1/2 "all along the edge, tucking in the un-stitched edges as you sew. Quilt the 9 patch blocks with 2 diagonal lines.
Using a rotary cutter, cut out the bottom left 9 patch block. Remove it totally. Cut to 4 "opening along the bottom left of the quilt, just inside the ditch stitching.
To make the cutey little hanging man.
To make the legs take the 7 "x 3" rectangles. Measure and mark a line 2 inches from the bottom.
Fold the bottom fabric over right sides together. Pin.
Then make a measure and mark 1 inch in from each side.
Fabric right sides together, sew a line of stitching 1 inch in length and 1/4 inch in from the fold. I used black cotton to make it more visible.
Turn right sides out. Stuff loosely with batting fill.
To make the arms, fold fabric over right sides together. Stitch one end up the side to the end. Turn right sides out. Fill loosely with batting but taking care to put less in the hands. Pin the arms in between the layers of the 9 patch block in the position shown in the picture.
Position the legs between the layers of the 9 patch block until they look right and pin. Stitch all four sides of the 9 patch block, securing the legs and arms. Leave the fabric ends to fray a little to make it look like a runaway.
Push the un-stitched ends of the arms through the cut fabric at the bottom of the quilt. Tuck the ends of the fabric in Stitch to straight line across what would be the wrist.
Attach the eyes with fabric glue.
Stitch a couple of fabric loops at the back of the quilt. Slide to wooden bar through the loops. Your runaway quilt is ready to hang!
