  2. Preparation Appliqué pieces Using the straight-edge rotary cutting blade or scissors, cut out the fusible adhesive pieces as directed in the cutting chart.

  3. Small 2018 11 08 092917 screen%2bshot%2b2018 11 08%2bat%2b09.29.02

  4. Small 2018 11 08 092939 screen%2bshot%2b2018 11 08%2bat%2b09.29.29

    Using the wavy-edge rotary cutting blade, cut out the appliqué shapes, leaving 1/4 ̋ of unfused fabric around the edge of the fusible adhesive. This will allow you to stitch through the fabric only, not through the fusible adhesive, and it creates a softer edge.

  5. Small 2018 11 08 093023 screen%2bshot%2b2018 11 08%2bat%2b09.30.13

    Finger-press the large center square appliqué diagonally in both directions. Align the square in the exact center of the background fabric where the pressed fold lines intersect, and press to fuse.

  7. Small 2018 11 08 093407 screen%2bshot%2b2018 11 08%2bat%2b09.33.45

    Materials Yardages are based on 42 ̋-wide fabric.

  12. Finishing 1. Layer and baste the quilt. 2. Stitch around all of the appliqué pieces, 1/8 ̋ inside all the wavy edges. 3. If more quilting is needed, choose a method to secure the layers. 4. Trim to square up the quilt, and choose a binding technique. * For the all-by-machine method (No Handwork Required), machine stitch using a slightly longer than normal stitch length. For the all-by-hand method (No Machine Required), hand stitch using running stitches with perle cotton thread. For the combination method (Machine and Hand), mix and match the machine and hand techniques, as desired.
