INSTRUCTIONS:
- Sew (1) CX2490 3” x 42-1/2” piece to the left side of the DC4278 Panel. Sew (1) CX2490 2-3/4” x 42-1/2” piece to the right side of the panel. Sew one CX2490 3” x 28-1/2” piece to the top of the panel. Sew one CX2490 3 1/2” x 28-1/2” piece to the bottom of the panel. Set aside.
- Trace (6) flowers and (24) leaves onto the paper side of fusible web. Cut out leaving a small margin around each. Following manufacturer's directions, iron (6) flowers onto CM0376, (12) leaves onto K4151, and (12) leaves onto K1156. Cut out.
- Arrange (1) flower, (2) K4151 leaves, and (2) K1156 leaves as shown on one 7” K1005 square. Fuse in place. Draw in stems and veins. Machine applique flower and leaves in place. Satin stitch each stem. Add calyx leaves using decorative leaf stitch on sewing machine. Free-motion stitch the center of the flower. Repeat for (6) blocks total.
NOTE: Back each block with tear-away stabilizer before stitching. This improves the finished quality of the block and eliminates distortion. Trim each block to 6-1/2” square.
- For strawberries: trace (12) onto the wrong side of CX1065. Cut out. With a threaded hand-sewing needle, gather each tightly between the dots. Knot off. Place (2) strawberries on one block as shown. Pin in place. Machine applique around raw edges-leaving a 1” opening. LIGHTLY stuff strawberry without distorting the background fabric. Machine applique closed.
- Beginning and ending with a 6-1/2” block, sew blocks together in a vertical row alternating with 2” x 6-1/2” K1156 pieces.
- Sew one K1156 3-1/2” x 43” piece to the right side of the block strip. Sew one K1156 2-3/4” x 9-1/2” piece to the top and bottom of the strips. Sew the strip to the right side of the panel unit.
- Layer backing, batting, and quilt top. Baste.
- Quilt as desired. Be careful around dimensional strawberries.
- Bind with K1156 piecing as needed for length.
