You'll need:
- Your 9 appliquéd blocks
- ¼ yard background fabric (mine is a white tone-on-tone)
- 18" x 18" piece of batting
- 18" x 18" piece of muslin (or a similar lining fabric)
- Red size 8 perle cotton
I'll include today's instructions both here and on a printable pattern sheet. Here's the link for the pattern sheet.
Day 10: Assembly
I love the look of the red big-stitch quilting on this project, but if you're short on time, you could also do a decorative machine stitch on the sashing rows and borders. Layering your pieced top with the batting and muslin will help add dimension to whatever decorative quilting or stitching you choose to do.
The layout that I used for my pillow top is only a suggestion. I used a different one for my traditional pillow, although I did keep the gingerbread man in the center of both because it's the only brown block. Here's a look back at my traditional pillow:
Once again, do what you love and make it your own!
That's it for today! I'll see you back here on Sunday for the final day of the Stitch-Along.
Happy Stitching!
