| INSTRUCTIONS: |
| 1.
Enlarge pattern to 22" x 16" on tracing paper. |
| 2.
Glue 2 sheets of STYROFOAM together along 18" sides, using
toothpicks to reinforce seam. Let dry thoroughly. |
| 3.
Mark off a 1" frame around the 24" x 18" sheet.
Center pattern inside frame and transfer pattern onto surface
of sheet. Use a ruler and pencil to score the pattern lines
onto the STYROFOAM; the lines should be felt through fabric. |
| 4.
For frame, cut (2) 22" x 3" and (2) 22-1/2" x
3" strips of fabric and (4) 20" x 2" and (4)
22" x 2" strips of batting. |
| 5.
Cut apart pattern pieces. Cut all pieces except windows from
fabric, adding 1/4" to all sides. |
| 6.
Cut three layers for each window section. The first layer is
from the sky color and covers the whole window area. The second
layer, glued on top of sky fabric, is the window shade or lace
curtain. The final layer, glued over shade, is the curtain or
drape. |
| 7.
Use patterns to cut batting for all pieces except sky, grass
and windows; pieces should be the same size or slightly smaller
than pattern pieces. If desired, omit batting layer on first
floor sections. Cut double layers of batting for porch roof,
porch floor and sidewalk. |
| 8.
Layer (2) 20" batting strips along front and sides of top
of frame; glue in place. Place 22" x 3" fabric strip
over batting so 1/4" extends over scored lines. Position
putty knife on scored lines and push 1/4" seam allowance
into the foam; glue excess fabric to back. 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 knife; carefully trim excess fabric. Finish tucking frame,
using remaining batting and fabric strips. |
| 9.
Starting with sky and grass, continue to center and tuck batting
and fabric pieces into foam. |
| 10.
Assemble windows (see step 6) and glue to quilt. Glue on lace
or bead tie-backs |
| 11.
Cut wood baluster into (2) 4-1/2" pieces. Paint spindles
and baluster white. When dry, glue to both sides of porch. Glue
on door handle and knocker. |
| 12.
Cut (2) 1-1/2" x 1/2" fabric rectangles for chimneys;
following photo, glue on wall hanging. |
| 13.
Glue lace along rooftops, roof edges, tops of chimneys, under
windows and along front of porch. |
| 14.
Glue hanger to the back about 1" from top edge. Hang and
enjoy your new quilt! |
