Instructions

1. From the Red fabric, cut two 2¼” strips from selvage to selvage. Set these aside to be used for the binding.

2. From the Purple fabric, cut one 10¾ x 10¾” background block and one 2¼ x 2¼” corner block .

3. From Green fabric, cut two 2¼ x 10¾” border pieces.

4. Piece the top as shown above.

5. Trace the templates onto the paper side of your fusible adhesive leaving approximately ½” between tracings. Trace the dashed stitching lines also, if desired.

6. Roughly cut the templates from the adhesive just outside of the traced line.

7. Place the adhesive templates onto the wrong side of their corresponding fabrics and fuse in place according to manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Neatly cut the appliques from the fabrics on the traced template lines.

9. Transfer the dashed stitching lines to the right side of the fabric, if desired. You can use a light table or daylit window.

10. Peel the paper backing from the appliques and arrange them on the pieced top. Fuse appliques into place.

11. Place the Sulky Tear-Easy stabilizer behind the top and satin stitch the raw edges of the appliques, using Sulky Premium 40 wt rayon thread. Remove the stabilizer after stitching.

12. Sandwich top, batting and backing and quilt as desired. For the veins in the leaves, a triple stitch works well.

13. Bind as usual, using the Red binding strips created in step 1, above.

14. Add a hanging sleeve, if desired. Instructions are available at: http://www.patricklose.net/instructiondownloads.htm
