- Place your stabilizer on the wrong side of the G Background piece. Stitch your cute floral pumpkin using the embroidery file and your coordinating thread.
- Remove the fabric from the hoop and remove the stabilizer carefully from the back. Press well. Trim to 8 ½” x 8 ½” making sure the design is centered in the square.
- Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of 2 of the I background pieces. Place these two right sides together with two B print pieces. Sew a ¼” seam on the left and right sides of the marked line. Cut down the marked line and press towards the darker fabric. Trim the four half square triangles to 4 ½’ x 4 ½”.
- Repeat with two more I background pieces and two C print pieces to make four half square triangles. Trim the four half square triangles to 4 ½” x 4 ½”.
- Place an H background piece right sides together with an A print piece. Sew along the long side. Repeat to make three more sets for a total of four.
- Assemble the center of the block as shown.
- Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of the F print pieces. Place the F pieces right sides together on each corner of the block with the lines aligned as shown in Fig E. Sew on the marked line trim ¼” away from the seam and press open.
- Sew a J background piece on either side of an E print piece along the long sides.
- Assemble the remainder of the top as shown.
- Layer together your quilt top batting and backing. Quilt as desired. I used diagonal quilting with different widths for the spaces between lines.
- Sew your binding strips together end to end. Press binding in half long-ways. Bind mini quilt as desired.
