Assemble the Quilt

  1. Refer to the illustration. Arrange all blocks into diagonal rows.

  2. Sew the quilt blocks in each row together. Remove temporary foundations from the sewn seam allowances of foundation blocks. Press seam allowances toward the appliqu� blocks.

  3. Pin and sew rows together, matching seam intersections carefully. Sew the four corners to the quilt.

  4. Remove all remaining temporary foundations, taking care not to stretch the outer edges. Press the quilt.

  5. Mark the top for quilting if necessary (mine was machine quilted using straight stitches along logs and meander quilting around pitchers and bows).

  6. Sandwich, quilt and bind.
