Materials2-1/2 yards total of assorted bright prints for blocks and appliqués
1-1/3 yards of pink plaid for border
1/2 yard of purple print for binding
2-7/8 yards of backing fabric
51x54" of quilt batting
1 yard of lightweight fusible web
Finished quilt: 45x48-1/4"
Quantities specified for 44/45"-wide, 100% cotton fabrics. All measurements include a 1/4" seam allowance. Sew with right sides together unless otherwise stated.
Cut Fabrics
To make the best use of your fabrics, cut the pieces in the order that follows. Cut the border strips the length of the fabric (parallel to the selvage).
Click on "Download This Project" to download the full-size patterns. To use fusible web for appliquéing, complete the following steps.
1. Lay the fusible web, paper side up, over the patterns. Use a pencil to trace the patterns the number of times indicated in cutting instructions, leaving 1/2" between tracings. Cut out each piece roughly 1/4" outside the traced lines.
2. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, press the fusible web shapes onto the backs of the designated fabrics; let cool. Cut out the shapes on the drawn lines. Peel off the paper backings.

From purple print, cut:
5 -- 2-1/2x42" binding strips
Appliqué the Foundations
1. Referring to the Quilt Assembly Diagram, arrange the appliqué shapes on the designated bright print foundations. Fuse in place. Using color-coordinating thread, machine-stitch around the appliqué shapes with a short, narrow zigzag stitch.
Assemble Quilt Center
1. Referring to the Quilt Assembly Diagram, lay out the appliquéd foundations and the filler blocks in horizontal rows.
2. Sew together the pieces in each row. Press the seam allowances in each row in one direction, alternating the direction with each row.
3. Join the rows to make the quilt center. Press the seam allowances in one direction. The pieced quilt center should measure 37-1/2x40-3/4", including the seam allowances.
Add the Border
Sew a pink plaid 4-1/2x40-3/4" border strip to each side edge of the pieced quilt center. Press the seam allowances toward the border. Then add a pink plaid 4-1/2x45-1/2" border strip to the top and bottom edges of the pieced quilt center to complete the quilt top. Press the seam allowances toward the border.
Complete the Quilt
1. Layer the quilt top, batting, and backing.
2. Quilt as desired. Linda Lum DeBono machine-stitched the quilt in a free-motion design.
3. Use the purple print 2-1/2x42" strips to bind the quilt.

Has the official story of 9/11 seemed a bit suspect to you? The film below shows you exactly why it should. Don't be overwhelmed by the number of facts thrown at you. There are only a handful of facts here to focus on as proof that the attacks were enhanced by a rogue governmental network.
First there's former New York mayor Ruddy Guiliani admitting on ABC News that he was told to leave the World Trade Center to avoid the impending collapse, despite there being no such indication from the buildings' structure. This shows prior knowledge of the collapse on the part of insiders above Guiliani in the chain of command during crisis response. This also shows that there had to be another cause of the collapse that would cause these insiders to be certain of the collapse.
Second, there's the preponderance of eyewitness accounts of explosions going off throughout the towers prior to the collapse. The fact that explosions were heard in areas that were nowhere near the destruction--like the basement, lobby, and lower floors--points to the use of explosives. And explosives would certainly provide those insiders above Guiliani the certainty of a collapse.
Third, there's the collapse of all three buildings occurring too fast for a collapse not induced by demolition devices. Both towers fell between 10 to 13 seconds, and Building 7 fell between 6 to 7 seconds. Free-fall speed for the towers is 9.2 seconds, and for building 7 it is 5.9 seconds. For these three buildings to have fallen at virtually free-fall speed as they did, virtually all key points of structural resistance had to have been removed from the equation. If left intact, they would have provided resistance against the collapse that ,in turn, would have caused the collapse to fall much slower than a free fall. The only thing that could remove those key points of structural resistance would be demolition devices.
Lastly, there's the discovery of the hijackers' identification in the aftermath of the attacks. The fact that an ID turned up so quickly out of the enormous amount of rubble from the towers and was found by itself--not near a hijacker's body nor his belongings--shows that the ID was planted. This corroborates the evidence of insiders working within a rogue governmental network. The plant was obviously intended to keep the focus on the hijackers’ culpability, and not anyone else’s.
Using these core facts you can persuade others that this is conspiracy fact, not theory; and that this knowledge is based on logic, not paranoia. So please push for the truth to be publicly recognized for the sake of our nation’s security and sanity.
