5. Make 2 of these units and sew to either side of stitchery, white blocksfacing out.

6. Repeat for top and bottom borders, using 4 blue and 3 white triangles.7. Sew a white corner triangle to each corner. (Please note that these

triangles may need to be trimmed down to square off each corner.)

8. Lay the backing fabric wrong side up on a flat surface and tape intoposition. Lay the wadding on top, smoothing out any wrinkles and thenposition the well pressed wallhanging on top, right side up. Pin orhandbaste the three layers together.

9. Quilt as desired. I have chosen to machine quilt in the ditch around thestitchery, and around the first blue border, from the seam. I have alsoquilted around each blue and white triangle, from the seam.

10. Trim excess backing and wadding level with the wallhanging. Sew bindingstrips together end to end. Press in half lengthways with wrong side

together. Aligning the raw edges, stitch the binding into place, mitring thecorners as you go and trimming off the excess. Turn the folded edge ofthe binding to the back and handstitch into place.

11. Attach your chosen hanger with the 2 buttons. Label, date and enjoy yourwallhanging.
