Instructions on making the stitchery blocks
ATTENTION: seam allowances are NOT included!
Cut from the ecru fabric 4 squares, each 20 cm x 20 cm, for the large stitchery
blocks and 4 squares, each 10 cm x 10 cm, for the corner blocks.
Trace the stitchery patterns with a thin pencil line.
Iron interfacing (vlieseline) to the back of the ecru fabrics, to avoid the fabric
to ‘shrink’ while sewing and to avoid the threads to shine through the fabric.
Make the stitchery using 2 threads of DMC. Use the following stitches:
_______________
Back stitch
●
French knot/colonial

Chain stitch
Satin stitch

General Instructions
Layering the quilt
Iron the quilt top and the backing. The backing and the batting must be approximately 10 cm
larger than the quilt top. Place the backing wrong side up on a flat surface and tape the backing
to the surface to keep it in place. Lay the batting on top of the backing and smooth it out evenly.
Then add the quilt top, right side up. Pin the three layers together and baste it, or baste the
three layers at once with an upholsterer’s needle in horizontal and vertical rows forming a 10 cm
grid. Start in the centre of the quilt top and work to the outer edges of the quilt.
Quilting
Start quilting in the center. Quilt as desired.
Hanging sleeves
Cut a strip 12 cm wide for a small(er) quilt or 20 cm wide for a bigger quilt by the width of the
quilt. Fold the strip lengthwise with right sides together and hem both sides of the strip. Turn
the sleeve right side out and press. Place and pin the seam allowance of the sleeve parallel to the
seam allowance at the back of the quilt. The seam allowance will be sew together with the
binding (see Binding). Hand stitch the other side of the sleeve to the back of the quilt.
Binding
Join the strips for the binding end to end to make one long strip. Fold the long strip in half
lengthwise, wrong sides together, and press. Stitch the binding strip to the edge of the quilt,
using 0,5 cm seam, mitring the corners as you go. Refer to the diagrams below for details.
