TRANSFERRING THE GRID:
Step 1: Draw a 14" by 39" rectangle, centered on the
muslin base.
Step 2: Label each corner on the back of transfer paper.
Example--UR for Upper Right.
Cut transfer paper in half twice, creating four
seperate corner pieces.
Step 3: Pin the corner transfer pieces on the muslin
base, matching the outer lines. Cut a 1" strip
from one of the pieces and transfer on
long sides as quides. See Fig 1.
Step 4: Transfer grid.

CONSTRUCTION:
Step 1: Pin liner and center in place. Pin and stitch rows using the technique given in the Foldy Stuff
Pineapple pattern. Use long strips and trim to size at the end of each row. Eliminate the corner as
shown if desired. Baste last row in place.
Step 2: Trim muslin to original outline.
Step 3: Cut backing 1/8" smaller than the trimmed top. With right sides together, line up the raw edges.
Stitch the backing to the top using 1/2" seams. Leave a 6" opening on one side.
Step 4: Turn right side out. Press. Hand-stitch opening. Enjoy!
HINT: If center seems to "floppy" a little machine quilting will stabilize it.
