Assembly:
|
| Note: seam allowance is 1/4", press the seam immediately after you make it. |
Sew the light colored 8 1/2" x 27 1/2" strips and the green 2 1/2" x 27 1/2" strips into a block.
|
|
Sew the green 4 1/2" x 28 1/2" strips to the upper and lower edges of the working piece.
|
|
Sew the green 4 1/2" x 35" strips to the left and right edges of the working piece.

Embroidery:
|
Mark the position of the embroidery on the light-colored parts. If you have a printer and embroidery software, print-outs of the designs can be helpful. If you do not, you can cut out rectangles of the same size as the designs and arrange them on the fabric to determine the position of the embroidery.
Stabilize the chosen area. Hoop the fabric tightly and embroider the designs one by one.

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 layers together.
We quilted in a free-motion style all over the quilt. |
|
| Press with heavy steam. Square the quilt. Finish the raw edges with the binding. |
