Quilt Top Notes/Techniques

Grandma Mary Jean helped me piece and quilt.  She taught me how to match seams and make flying geese.

First use of perfect binding technique from American Patchwork & Quilting.

Quilting Notes/Techniques

Quilted through middle horizontal and vertically, as well as through the corners diagonally. First time I learned I needed to use a walking foot to quilt.

Fused red and green fabrics back to back, satin stitched around template and cut out around edge of stitching to create flowers and leaves. Used star burst beads for centres.  Used store bought bow.
