Cutting:

The central part is 9" x 33". Trim your piece to this size, if it is bigger.

Out of fabric for the first border, cut

2 strips measuring 1 1/2" x 33" and
2 strips measuring 1 1/2" x 11".

Cut the remaining fabric in 2 1/2" strips and the length of the width of the fabric for the binding. You will need 3 or 4 of them depending on the width of the fabric.

Out of fabric for the second border, cut

2 strips measuring 4 1/2" x 35" and
2 strips measuring 4 1/2" x 19".

Assembly of the Top:

Note: Seam allowance is 1/4", press the seam immediately after you make it.

Sew the long 1 1/2" strips to the long edges of the central part.

Sew the short 1 1/2" strips to the short edges of the central part.

Repeat with the strips of the second border: sew the long 4 1/2" wide strips to the long edges of the working piece, and sew the short 4 1/2" wide strips to the short edges of the working piece.

Embroidery:

If you have a printer, print out screen shots of the designs. If you do not have a printer, cut out paper squares and rectangles the size of the designs.

Position the print-outs or shapes on the central part. When you like the arrangement, pin them in place.
After that,one by one, stabilize the fabric with light-weight cut away stabilizer and embroider the designs.
