Pillow Top Piecing Applique Background Cut one 1. Family Tree Cream or any other neutral Moda fabric. Pieced Pillow Top From your Jelly Roll choose 5 to 1. The sample was completed using 7 different fabric strips and alternating lighterdarker fabrics in the block. Cutting and Piecing Pillow Top  Using the Piecing and Cutting diagram below, cut strip sizes and sew to the cream applique background. Note  The diagram indicates the order in which you piece AND the size of the cut piece. Example   1 1. Note  Above pieces 9, 1. I completed the applique. You can sew them on at any time. Cutting Tip   When youre cutting pieces that are longer than 1. Take 12 of the desired size as your target, fold your fabric to the target size plus a bit of overlap. Find the target size mark on your ruler and place it on the fabric fold. Trim the opposite end. This method allows you to remove the selvage while cutting the desired strip size and helps avoid LONG strip and ruler alignment. Now, back to the pillow top be sure to press your seams toward the outside of the pillow after each strip is sewn. I was taught to first press the seam flat before pressing it in the desired direction. The seams come out beautifully using this method. Now that youve completed most or all of the piecing on the pillow top its time to applique Pillow Top Applique The applique portion of the pillow allows for great flexibility In the completed sample I used Moda Wool for the tree and birds and attached them to the background with a whipstitch sometimes referred to as an overhand stitch. The birds were stuffed to give them dimension. Needle turn applique method was used for the tree leaves. In all cases, basting was done with applique pins. If you would rather not use the sample methods, there are many applique options available including raw or turned edge applique, fused or glued, with hand or machine stitching. If you have any questions on any particular method, leave a comment here or on my blog, and I would be happy to give you feedback. Also, check out the great Moda Bake Shop Basics tutorials on Machine Applique and Turned Edge Machine Applique. Tree Birds If you are using wool and not fusing it down, then youll want to have Quilters Freezer Paper on hand. If you dont have Quilters Freezer paper sheets, you can use rolled freezer paper from your kitchen drawer Using the tree template below, trace the tree design to the dull or paper side of the freezer paper. With a dry iron set on edium heat, press your freezer paper to the right side of the wool. Use care not to burn andor discolor your wool. Cut along the drawn line. Remove the freezer paper. Use applique pins to secure the tree to the background fabric, then use Pearl Cotton thread to stitch using a Whipstitch. Finished Tree Once your tree is stitched down, use the same techniques to cut and stitch your birds. Bird layout Before stitching the birds to the background you can optionally add some dimension by stuffing them with batting. Once the birds are stitched to the background, give them each a wing. I fussy cut paisley wings using clear template plastic to help find the perfect fussy cut. Youll notice that I auditioned several different fabrics for wings there are many great choices. Choose what looks good to your eye and attach using your favorite applique method. After stitching the tree, birds, and bird wings to the background, choose several strips from the jelly roll and fussy cut leaves to complete the tree. The sample leaves were completed using needle turn applique, but use your favorite applique method. For a fast and easy solution consider raw edge applique using fusible web to secure and machine top stitch for added interest. Once the applique is completed, add the 4 outside border pieces pieces 9 through 1. Piecing and Cutting Diagram above. Your unquilted pillow top should measure appx 2. Prepare for Pillow Top Quilting In the sample, only the pillow top was quilted. Prepare the quilt sandwich on a table top the pillow size is perfect because nothing drapes over the edges of the table First, lay out your backing fabric remember this fabric will not show once your envelope pillow is completed, so use a less expensive muslin or a light colored cotton fabric. Now secure the backing fabric to the table with tape, pulling it taut, but using care not to stretch your fibers you dont want it to spring back when the tape is removed. Next, position and smooth batting over the backing, secure it with tape, remembering not to pull too tight. Lastly, position and smooth the pillow top right side up on the batting, always smoothing from the center out and securing as you smooth. Pin basting is complete. I use quilting safety pins to baste my quilt tops, but there are other methods including spray basting and basting with straight pins and soft tips. Quilt the Pillow Top Using matching thread and a walking foot, stitch in the ditches along the strip pieces to stabilize the pillow top before Free Motion Quilting the applique area. Start at the edge of the applique background and work your way outward stitching in the ditch. Also, baste stitch around the outside perimeter of the pillow top. Free Motion Quilt the applique area Free motion quilting is fun and it allows you to enjoy your piece without the wait of someone else doing your quilting for you. This pillow top is a perfect place to practice free motion quilting. Here are some basics Use a top and bobbin thread that match the applique background, put your darning foot on, and drop the feed dogs on your machine.
