Steps:1. To create the pattern of the mountain landscape, make an enlargement of the photo to be quilted. Adapt this project for photographs from your personal collection.
2. Place a large sheet of acetate over the photo and trace the pattern with a fine tip pen.
3. On a second sheet of acetate draw fractured units or graphic lines.
4. Lay the two sheets of acetate on top of one another. Have a print shop create three copies of the pattern -- enlarged to desired quilt size.
5. Spray-mount the first copy to cardboard and cut up the different sections to use as templates.
6. Post the second copy on a wall to use as a diagram.
7. Place the third copy to the side to use as a stabilizer for piecing the quilt together.
8. Determine the desired value for each cut-out template and choose the appropriate coordinating fabric.
9. Lay a piece of fabric right-side down and place the template piece on the fabric right-side down.
10. Trace the template with a fabric marking pencil.
11. Cut out the fabric 1/4 inch larger than the marked pattern.
12. Pin the fabric section to the pattern mounted on the wall. Remember to save the coordinating cardboard template. Continue tracing, cutting and pinning each section until the pattern is covered.
13. Place the fabric templates on the ironing board, face down, and spray the edges with starch.
14. Lay the coordinating cardboard pattern pieces on the templates, right-side facing down. Turn the edges to the fabric up and over the templates with a stiletto tool. Iron the edges over the template edges.
15. Draw the quilt pattern onto the stabilizer allowing a 1/2-inch seam allowance.
16. Iron the fabric to the stabilizer. Once all the pieces of fabric have been ironed to the stabilizer, sew the sections together with a transparent thread. Tip: Katie suggests using gray thread in the bobbin and sewing with the machine on a #2 width, zigzag, free-motion setting. Gently tear-away the stabilizer from the fabric.
17. Adhere fabric to the foundation with spray adhesive. Tip: Katie recommends using wool batting and backing and steaming the wool for flatness.
18. Set the sewing machine to 0 (zero) for straight lines and follow the design of the fabric.
19. Once the quilting is completed use the third pattern copy to reinforce the sewing lines.
20. Press the seam opens trimming the excess about 1/8-inch from the bottom.
21. Cut a strip of fabric about 1-1/2 inches wide, and fold in half, with the wrong sides together. Stitch with a 1/4-inch seam, and use a turning bar to press.
22. Remove the bar and hand stitch the border along the seam.
