You will need

• embroidery thread (either polyester or rayon),
• medium-weight cut-away stabilizer,
• about 1 yard of light colored (cream, pale yellow or white) fabric for the background, borders and binding,
• pink fabric for the border (select it after you made the embroidery),
• batting and backing,
• small-sized rick-rack tape (optional).

Embroidery:

Out of light-colored fabric, cut 4 pieces which you can hoop (about 8" x 10"). Embroider all the letters one by one.

After the embroidery is finished, trim the first stitch-out (the letter L) to 5" x 8" and all the other strich-outs to 6 1/2" x 8". Sew them into a strip.

Out of pink fabric cut 2 strips measuring 2 1/2" x 23" and sew them to the upper and lower edges of the embroidered strip.

Out of the same pink fabric, cut 2 strips measuring 2 1/2" x 12" and sew them to the left and right edges of the central part.

Out of light-colored fabric, cut 2 strips measuring 2 1/2" x 27 1/2" and 2 strips measuring 2 1/2" x 15 1/2". Sew the first pair to the upper and lower edges of the working piece and the second pair to its left and right edges .

Quilting and Finishing:

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 around the letteres and all over the work in a free motion style.

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.

If you'd like to apply some trim as rick-rack tape, do it now before you finish the edges.

Finish the raw edges with the binding.

Your quilt is done. Enjoy!
