Sewing:
|
| Sew all the small squares into pairs. One square in each pair should
be dark green. You will get: 26 red and green pairs, 22 blue and green
pairs, 12 yellow and green pairs, 12 light and dark green pairs. Always
press the seam towards the green square. |
| Next, assemble the rows of the quilt per the instructions below |
| Row 1: for this row use 8 red-green and 6 blue-green strips.
Sew them in the following order: |
|
| Row 2: for this row use 2 red-green, 2 blue-green, 2 yellow-green,
2 green-green strips and 3 white squares. Sew them in the following order: |
|
| Row 3: for this row use 2 red-green, 2 blue-green, 3 yellow-green,
3 green-green strips and 2 white squares. Sew them in the following order: |
|
| Row 4: for this row use 2 red-green, 2 blue-green, 2 yellow-green,
2 green-green strips and 3 white squares. Sew them in the following order.
This row is very similar to Row 2, except for the arrangement of
the yellow-green and green-green strips |
|
| Row 5: this row is identical to Row 3, except it's turned
180 degrees. |
|
| Row 6: This row is identical to Row 2. |
|
| Row 7: Use the remainder of the red-green and blue-green strips.
This row is identical to the first one, but turned 180 degrees. |
|
| Sew the rows together. To avoid getting the order of the rows mixed
up, you might want to lay them all out first before you start stitching. |

|
Embroidery:
|
| Stabilize the white blocks with light-weight cut-away stabilizer and
make the embroidery of the designs from the Dwarf
with Fruit Set and Fruit
Applique Set. For the applique we used scraps of the same fabric we
used for the quilt.
We embroidered the dwarves on the white squares of the third, forth
and fifth rows. We embroidered fruit on the blocks of the second and sixth
rows. |

Quilting and Finishing:
|
| Now place the backing/lining on a flat surface (table) face down. Cover
with batting. Spread your working piece over it.
Pin all three layers together with 1" pins. If you are making a blanket,
quilt in the ditch. If it's a wall hanging, quilt more densely in a free-motion
style. Remove the pins.
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.
Finish the raw edges with binding. |
