Celtic Sunrise Random lengths of decorative stitches are stitched all over the quilt top. Vary the widths and decorative stitches. Lay out the batting strips, overlapping the point.

3 Celtic Sunrise Random lengths of decorative stitches are stitched all over the quilt top. Vary the widths and decorative stitches. Lay out the batting strips, overlapping the point. Pin the overlap together at the same 45-degree angle matching the strips of fabric. Lay a strip of fabric over the top of the batting right-side up. Lay the matching fabric strip on top of the first strip with right sides together to create the chevron. Free-motion stipple where needed and desired to even out the stitched layering of the background quilt. Square the wallhanging to 40" x 40". The Flange Cut 4 flange strips 1½" across the width of fabric. Press in half, wrong sides together. Sew the flange around the outside of the quilt using a ¼" seam allowance, placing the flange on the top and bottom first, and then on either side. Sew a ¼" seam on both sides of the strips of fabric creating a tube. Trim the batting close to the seam. Turn right-side out through one of the tube ends. Press flat, making sure the strip width measures 2". Do this to all 5 colors. Quilt each chevron strip as desired. Quilting in the hoop using digitized quilting designs built into the embroidery machine was used on Celtic Sunrise (see page 13). Woven Strips Cut strips of fabric and batting: 4 strips yellow 4½" by width of fabric 4 strips each: pink, red, light blue, and dark blue 2½" by width of fabric 2 strips batting 6" by 40" 8 strips batting 4" by 40" Sew the strips of fabric together to make a 45-degree corner, or chevron. Press seams open. After all the chevrons are quilted, lay them out as desired (the sample was done as a sunrise yellow, red, pink, light blue, dark blue), weaving the strips onto the green background, centering the design as desired. Tack invisibly. Baste the chevron raw edges along the flange raw edge. Trim excess fabric. Bind the quilt using any desired technique. Embellishing Heat-set rhinestones were applied to the interwoven strips. Loose beads and stones were hand sewn onto the green background. 22 Creative Sewing Techniques by Machine Nancy Fiedler

5 Birds in Paradise 58" x 68" Designed and sewn by Nancy Fiedler Each quilt top is a canvas on which you can tell a story.

What a surprise if they flew into the room! 34 Creative Sewing Techniques by Machine Nancy Fiedler
