This sandwich is ready for embroidery. We embroidered a wreath of autumn leaves, using designs for the small hoop (4" x 4") from the Autumn Leaves Applique Set.
Out of the 24 10"x10" squares with a large leaf pattern, make 12 sandwiches. Quilt them with an X from one corner to the opposite one.
Out of the 80 green 6"x 6" squares and 80 6" x 6" leaf-patterned squares, make 80 sandwiches. The green part should go on the top and the patterned part should go on the back of the sandwich. Quilt them with an X.
Out of the 56 10"x10" squares with a small leaf pattern, make 28 sandwiches.uilt them with an X from one corner to the opposite one.
Out of the 72 10" x 10" dark brown squares make 36 sandwiches. Embroider 12 sandwiches with applique leaves. Quilt the remaining 24 sandwiches with an X.
For the brown blocks we used designs for the large hoop (5" x 7") from the Autumn Leaves Applique Set.
Pin two blocks back to back and stitch down one side, 1" from the edge. Press the seam allowances open. They will lie on the top side of the quilt.
Assemble every four 6" x 6" squares into 10"x10" squares (four-patch units).
When assembling the quilt, sew the blocks into rows first, then sew the rows together. The opened seams should always be on the top! Follow the diagram layout below:
This is what the back of the quilt looks like. All seams are finished.
To finish the quilt edges, topstitch around the outside edge 1" from the the edge. It's also possible to finish the edges with the regular binding.
Clip the 1" seam allowance on each seam and the edges of the quilt every 1/4" -1/2", to make a fringe. DO NOT clip through the seam.
Washing and Drying
Now the quilt is ready for washing and drying. There will be a lot of lint! We recommend to use a laundromat. Commercial washing and drying machines have powerful filters and lint traps. Washing at home may clog your washing machine and pipes.
