MaterialsPillowcase band blocks are madewith AccuQuilt Wonky Heart fabric-cutting die #55471.
FOR ONE PILLOWCASE• 1⁄2 yard pink print (pillowcase
band)• 1⁄2 yard black print (pillowcase
band)• 3⁄8 yard black polka dot
(pillowcase band)• 7⁄8 yard floral print (pillowcase
body)
Finished pillowcase: 303⁄4 ×20" (fits a standard-size bed pillow).
Yardages and cutting instructions are based on 42" of usable fabric width. Measurements include 1⁄4" seam allowances for piecing strips and 1⁄2" seam allowances for pillowcase construction. Sew with right sides together unless otherwise stated.
Cut FabricsThe block templates are on pages 6–7. Cut the specified number of pieces using either an AccuQuilt fabric cutter and die #55471 or scissors. To use the fabric cutter, follow these two steps and the manufacturer's instructions.
1. Cut 3—10" squares each from pink print and black print.
2. Layer the black print and pink print squares right sides up on top of the die and run the stack through the fabric cutter.
To use scissors, complete the following steps.
1. Purchase easy-to-cut template plastic at a quilt shop or crafts supply store.
2. Lay template plastic over each printed pattern. Use a ruler and permanent marker to trace the solid outside edges and dashed seam lines. Mark each template with the project name, letter, and any marked matching points.
3. Cut out each template and check each one against its original pattern for accuracy. If it isn’t accurate, the error (even if it’s small) will multiply as you assemble a quilt.
4. Using a pushpin, make a hole in each template at all marked matching points. The holes must be large enough to accommodate a pencil point.
5. Place a fabric right side down on 220-grit sandpaper to prevent the fabric from stretching when you trace. Place a template facedown on the wrong side of the fabric with the template’s grain line or a straight edge parallel to the fabric’s lengthwise or crosswise grain. Use a pencil, white dressmaker’s pencil, chalk, or a special fabric marker that makes a thin, accurate line to trace around the template. (Don’t use a ballpoint or ink pen because they might bleed.) Mark any matching points through the holes in the template. (When sewing pieces together, line up and pin through matching points to ensure accurate assembly.)
6. Repeat to trace the number of pieces needed, positioning the tracings without space between them. Use scissors or a rotary cutter and ruler to precisely cut fabric pieces on the drawn lines. Repeat to cut remaining pieces.

Assemble Wonky Heart BlocksPress seams toward darker fabric.
1. Gather pink print A, B, C, F, H, I, and J pieces and black print D, E, and G pieces.
2. Sew together A and D pieces (Diagram 1).
3. Join Step 2 unit with F and B pieces (Diagram 2).
4. Sew together I, G, E, and C pieces (Diagram 3). Join step 3 and 4 units (Diagram 4).
5. Sew together J and H pieces (Diagram 5). Join step 4 and 5 units to complete one black Wonky Heart block. The block should be 61⁄2" square including seam allowances.

7. Gather black print A, B, C, F, H, I, and J pieces and pink print D, E, and G pieces.
8. Repeat steps 2–5 to make two pink Wonky Heart blocks.
From black polka dot, cut:• 1—61⁄2 ×401⁄2" strip• 1—21⁄2 ×61⁄2" rectangle• 2—11⁄2 ×61⁄2" rectanglesFrom floral, cut:• 1—26 ×41" rectangle
Assemble BandUse a 1⁄4" seam allowance for the following steps.
1 Arrange black and pink blocks, black polka dot 21⁄2 ×61⁄2" rectangle, and black polka dot 11⁄2 ×61⁄2" rectangles in a row (Band Assembly Diagram). Join pieces to make band strip. Band strip should be 61⁄2 ×401⁄2" including seam allowances.
2 Sew 61⁄2 ×401⁄2" pieced strip to black polka dot 61⁄2 ×401⁄2" strip (Band Assembly Diagram).
3 Join short ends of Step 2 unit to make a loop. Press seam open. Fold loop in half with wrong side inside; press to make pillowcase band.
Assemble Pillowcase1. Fold print 26 ×41" rectangle
in half to form a 26 ×201⁄2" rectangle. Sew together a set of long edges and a set of short edges to make pillowcase body. Turn right side out; press flat.
2. Matching raw edges and seams, slide pillowcase band over pillowcase body with appliqué
side of band facing right side of pillowcase body (Diagram 6); pin. Sew together band and pillowcase body.
3. Press pillowcase band open, pressing seam allowances toward pillowcase body. Topstitch 1⁄8" from band edge to secure seam allowance and complete pillowcase (Diagram 7).
