Assembling the Project:

1. Arrange three Triangles with three Squares to form three Houses on the background. Embellish each House with Windows, a Roof Embellishment and a Door. Trim the Window Pane Grid to be a single, large Square Window, if desired.
2. When satisfied with the arrangement, heat fuse in place with an iron. Stitch around shapes as desired.
3. Sew the 2 1/2" x 14 1/2" Strips onto each side of the background. Press. Then sew the 2 1/2" x 18 1/2" Strips onto the top and bottom of the background. Press.

Finishing:

1. Layer the batting and pillow top. Quilt by hand or machine, as desired.
2. Layer the pillow top and pillow back, right sides together. Pin and sew with 1/2" seam allowance, leaving an opening approximately 6" long to insert pillow form.
3. Clip excess fabric in the corners on the diagonal. Turn right-side out, insert the pillow form and whipstitch closed.
