If you wish to make a “Four Seasons” Quilt using these designs only I have included the tree with leaves and where there was snow there is grass, all you need to do is change the colour thread for the different seasons

• Cut out your chosen background fabric, I cut out approximately 90 x 90cm or 35 x 35 inches the fabric used was beige linen for the background fabric and all the stitch outs.

• Mark the centre of the fabric you have just cut out

• Where you marked the centre on the background fabric place Winter_01 panel and lightly glue the fabric down, I used a hot glue gun
  
  
• Zigzag stitch Winter_01 panel.

• Lightly glue each of the four Winter _02 panels

• Lightly glue each of the panels Winter_04 and Winter_05

Over the top of the black satin stitch border, stitch the round stitch that is in your decorative stitches that is contained in your sewing machine, this gives a lovely finish to your work and also blends your work together
