20 Cut sixteen 1in (2.5cm) squares in different colours. Join them together in rows of four. It helps to draw a line ⅛ in (3mm) away from the raw edges for the correct seam allowance. For the border cut two pieces 2¼in × 1in (5.7cm × 2.5cm) and two 3½in × 1in (8.9cm × 2.5cm). Join the shorter pieces on first, then the longer ones.

21 Embroider backstitch, lazy daisy stitch and French knots on the quilt – see pictures. Add wadding and backing and finish the edges as before.

22 Fold your piece of cord in half and sew the mini quilts to it so they are on either side of the halfway point. Place against the large quilt to gauge how long the washing line should be then knot each end of the line. Sew to the tree trunks to finish.
