| INSTRUCTIONS: |
| 1.
Referring to the diagram, use a felt tip marker and yardstick
to draw the design on STYROFOAM. Score all design lines with
a sharp pencil. |
| 2.
Using tracing or typing paper, copy the patterns for quilt block
design and cut out. |
| 3.
Pin pattern pieces to right side of fabric and cut out, adding
3/8" seam allowance to all fabric pieces. |
| 4.
Beginning in the center of the design, center a fabric piece
over scored lines. Position knife on the scored lines and push
seam allowances into the foam. For a clean, crisp "seam," hold
the putty knife straight up and down and work on a large flat
surface. Tuck in stray fabric with a table or palette knife.
Carefully trim excess fabric. |
| 5.
Working out from the center, repeat tucking process with the
remaining fabric pieces until quilt square design is in place. |

2 - 1-1/4" x 12-3/4" strips and 2 - 1-1/4" x 13-3/4" strips.
Tuck the two shorter pieces in place, followed by the two longer
pieces. |
| 7.
To add the outer border, cut from the navy print fabric 2 -
3" x 13-3/4" strips and 2 - 3" x 18" strips. Tuck the 3/8" seam
allowances in place on the scored lines and around the edge
of the wall hanging, pull taut and glue excess fabric to the
back. First tuck the short pieces, then the longer pieces. |
| 8.
Press, fuse or sew 1/4" hem around 15" fabric square. Glue in
