how to | raw edge pez quilt.

i'm excited to share today's tutorial so you can make a raw edge pez quilt of your own! let's get started:

raw edge pez quilt. 

finished size: 36" x 42"

materials needed. 
raw edge pez template

1 charm pack or 42 - 5" squares

1 1/3 yards of background fabric

1/2 yard of binding fabric

a 40" x 46" piece of batting

1 1/3 yards of backing fabric

cutting instructions. 

from the background fabric, cut: 

     42 - 6 1/2" squares

step one. download and print out the raw edge pez template. trace template onto freezer paper, cut out. **i like to use the freezer paper in projects like this because it makes tracing+cutting fabric out a whole lot easier. however, after a few blocks you may have to make a new, fresh freezer paper template as the "sticky-ness" does wear off after a few uses. 

step two. using a medium to high heat iron, press freezer paper template onto a charm square (5" square). trace the template onto the fabric. 

step three. using a scissor, cut out your fabric pez shape following the lines drawn.

step four. center your pez shape onto a 6 1/2" square of background fabric. pin in place. 
 

step five. using a 1/4" seam allowance, sew around the inner and outer edges of the pez shape. making sure to backstitch where your seams overlap. 
----------
repeat to the remaining charm squares until you have 42 blocks in total. 

layout your raw edge pez quilt, 6 blocks x 7 blocks. sew blocks together.

quilt, bind, wash, and enjoy! the beauty with this raw edge pez quilt is the more you wash it, the softer it gets.
