Instructions 12½" square mini quilt 1. Refer to the cutting and piecing page for cutting instructions. Appliqués will be added to the background and border fabrics prior to piecing the block. 2. Trace the templates onto the paper side of your fusible adhesive leaving approximately ½ between tracings. Trace the dashed stitching and placement lines also, if desired. 3. Roughly cut the templates from the adhesive just outside of the traced line. 4. Place the adhesive templates onto the wrong side of their corresponding appliqué fabrics and fuse in place according to manufacturer s instructions. 5. Neatly cut the appliqués from the fabrics on the traced template lines. 6. Transfer the dashed stitching lines to the right side of the noisemaker end fabric with a non-permanent pen or pencil, if desired. You can use a light table or daylit window. 7. Peel the paper backing from the appliqués and arrange them on the background and border pieces. Fuse appliqués into place. 8. Place the Sulky Tear-Easy stabilizer behind the appliqué sections and satin stitch the raw edges of the appliqués, using Sulky Premium 40 wt rayon thread. Satin stitch the zig zag lines on the border appliqué pieces. Satin stitch noisemaker details on marked dashed lines. Remove the stabilizer after stitching. 9. Piece the block, as shown on the cutting and piecing page. 10. Sandwich batting between top and backing with wrong sides of fabrics against batting. 11. Quilt as desired. I used a straight stitch, in matching thread, around each appliqué satin stitching and next to binding.i quilted meandering lines on the background area. 12. Bind as usual, using the 2¼ strips cut from the binding fabric. Copyright 2012 All Rights Reserved Visit www.patricklose.com
