General Instructions
All four Celebrate the Seasons holiday quilts share the same pieced background layout and borders. Refer to this section for all directions.
FABRIC
I recommend that you prewash and press all your fabrics before sewing—this way you won’t be caught by surprise with fabrics that shrink at different rates or colors that bleed.
Fabric requirements and cutting instructions are based on fabric that is at least 40˝ wide and allow for both shrinkage from prewashing and some errors when cutting. The fabric amounts for the pieced blocks include some extra that can be used for the appliqués. WOF is an abbreviation for width of fabric.
Specific yardage and color requirements are included with each project.
SEWING
All seam allowances are ¼˝. Be as accurate as possible when piecing. The sashing is part of the construction of each block, and accuracy will determine how well your pieced borders will fit.
To keep the batting from migrating through, use a shorter-than-usual stitch length for seams that are pressed open.
APPLIQUÉS
These instructions are for appliqués attached using paper-backed fusible web and machine stitching. Use the layout diagrams in the pattern sheets (P1–P12) when preparing the appliqué pieces. The patterns are reversed and numbered in appliqué sequence. Choose your favorite fusible web and follow the manufacturer’s directions.
TIP
I recommend using Silicone Release Paper (by C&T Publishing) or a translucent nonstick pressing sheet to preassemble the appliqués before fusing them onto the background fabric. Trace, fuse, and cut out the appliqué shapes. Pin the release paper or pressing sheet on top of the pattern page. Assemble and fuse the appliqué pieces right onto the nonstick sheet, remove the assembly from the sheet, and fuse it onto the background fabric.
Prepare the Appliqués
1. Trace the patterns onto the paper side of the fusible web and write the number on each shape. The numbers indicate the appliqué sequence. Trace 1 of each pattern
