Stitch using a zigzag stitch on a piece of fabric as per the photo

Zigzag stitch the three “one colour_14” designs together. Then zigzag stitch to the fabric.

Zigzag stitch the bottom panel. I left a small space between the large panel. This helps just break up the design

Zigzag stitch the top panel, lining up with the bottom panel.

Zigzag stitch the middle panel to the fabric, leaving a small space between the top and bottom panel.

Repeat all that you have done to the opposite side of the quilt.
