3. Join Blocks Together – now it is just a question of hard work, meticulously joining the blocks together.

First lay them out to decide what position each block should be, then sew together in rows, finally joining

your rows to each other. Here is how I arranged the blocks:

4. Apply border colors C & D

Cut strips of border fabric 10 cm wide for color C and 20 cm wide for color D and stitch round edge of

quilt.

5. Apply batting and quilt

Layer with batting and pin. Stitch in ditch of 25 embroidery blocks and stipple the two border layers.

6. Trim excess batting

7. Apply edging to finish off

Prepare a strip of fabric to stitch around the edge of the quilt, pin right side to right side, machine stitch,

then finish off by hand stitching at the back.
