Stabilize each block with light-weight cut-away stabilizer. Embroider one block at a time. We embroidered the designs from the Autumn Redwork Set.
Now place the backing on a flat surface (table) face down. Cover with batting. Spread your working piece over it.
Pin all three layers together with 1" pins and start quilting. We quilted along the lines of the embroidery and made stippling all over the background fabric. The colored frames were quilted in in parallel lines.
After the quilting is finished, press the work with heavy steam and square the work -- all corners should be 90 degrees and opposite sides should be of the same length.
Finish the raw edges with the binding.
