You will need:

  • light-weight cut-away stabilizer,
  • 4 fabrics of autumn colors: about 1/2" yard each of light green, forest green, light brown fabric, about 1 yard of orange fabric;
  • batting and backing,
  • quilting thread to match the fabrics,

Emboridery

Stabilize the light green fabric with light-weight cut-away stabilizer for embroidery. Upload the designs into the machine and embroider them one by one with a dark thread - e.g black, dark brown, dark green.

Trim all stitch-outs to 7" x 7" squares.

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 three layers together with 1" pins and start quilting. We quilted with a meandering pattern all over the top.

After the quilting is finished, 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 the binding.
