Sew your strips together as shown below. Note that the wider light
strip is on the bottom. Press in one direction. Cut into 1" segments.
Sew into pairs. When sewing the pairs, be sure to pay attention to
where they match.Turn every other strip 180° and step your fabrics UP
one fabric instead of down.
Straighten the side and top edges as described in lesson two.
Bridging Strips:
Mark a line 1/2” from the top of the pattern as shown above. Add a dark
bridging strip to the top and bottom of the Seminole Strip using this mark.
Trim any excess ragged edges and press to the bridging strip.
Playtime:
This is a wonderful strip for experimenting with values. Use the
dark for medium and the medium for dark. The dark and medium squares will
be reversed.
If you want to do more experimenting, substitute the medium or dark for light and so on.

Seminole Sampler Strip of the Month
Month #6 Project
Placemats
Finished size Approx. 14" x 19"
You will need:
- 1 Fat Quarter Placemat Fabric
- 1 Fat Quarter Backing Fabric
- 15" x 20" Fleece
- 1 strip Seminole patchwork any width by 15”
All seams are 1/4"
From each fat quarter cut a piece of fabric 15" x 20". Set one aside
for backing. The other will be used for Placemat fabric.
From placemat fabric cut 1 strip 15” X 2”. Piece this strip to one
edge of the Seminole Strip. This will be the right edge of the placemat.
Piece remainder of placemat to the other edge of the Seminole strip
along the 15" edge. This will be the left edge of the placemat.
Trim enough from the left edge of the placemat so that you have a piece 15" x 20".
Place the fleece on a flat surface. Add the backing, right side up and
then the top of the placemat, right side down. Sew around all edges with
a 1/4" seam leaving an opening for turning. Trim corners and turn.
Slipstitch opening closed.
Quilt around the Seminole design and in the area to the left of the design.
Options: Reversible Placemats
Make two placemat tops using different placemat fabric. Place them
right sides together with the Seminole strips on opposite edges. Sew as
above. As you quilt each Seminole strip you will also be quilting a Seminole
design on the open area of the other side of the placemat.
