Press all seams as you sew. Always sew a sample block before cutting an entire quilt. Sewing 1 Blocks The blocks are sewn in two sections that are joined together. Applique and embroider the face on each of the small sections and the words on the large sections before joining the sections together to complete the block. 2 Rows The quilt is sewn together in 2rows of 2 blocks each. The blocks are separated by blue and gray sashing strips and a center gray sashing strip to separate the rows. Follow the diagram to sew the rows of blocks and sashings together. Sew the 2 rows together separating them with a gray sashing unit to complete the center area of the quilt top. 3 Sewing Borders There are 4 different blocks in the border strips plus 4 squares. Sew the blocks in the numbers as shown. 4 Adding Borders Sew the borders together as shown in the diagram. There are 2 side borders and a top and bottom border. Study the borders carefully and arrange the border blocks exactly as shown as they surround the center of the quilt. Sew the side borders to opposite sides of the quilt and the top and bottom borders to finish. Finishing Layer the quilt top, batting and backing. Baste, then quilt the layers together. Bind outside edges of quilt by cutting 2" wide bright blue fabric strips. Fold in half lengthwise and press on fold line. Pin and sew raw edges of binding to raw edges of top and quilt. Turn folded edge to back of quilt and stitch in place.
