1. Cut and piece light green print 1-1/2×42" strips to make:

• 2—1-1/2×56-1/2" sashing strips

2. Lay out assorted cream print 10-1/2" squares and light green print 1-1/2×10-1/2" and 1-1/2×56-1/2" sashing strips in three rows (Quilt Center Assembly Diagram).

3. Join squares and sashing strips in middle row. Press seams toward sashing strips. Add remaining sashing strips to long edges to make quilt center. Press seams toward sashing strips. The quilt center should be 12-1/2×56-1/2" including seam allowances.

1. Referring to Appliqué Placement Diagram, position assorted print and white tone-on-tone A–L pieces atop quilt center. Be sure to keep A pieces at least 1/2" from quilt center long edges. Following manufacturer's instructions, fuse all pieces in place.

2. Using threads that match the appliqué pieces, machine-zigzag-stitch around appliqué edges.

1. Center a purple, orange, yellow, pink, or teal print M appliqué atop a green print 4-1/2" square (Block A Appliqué Diagram). Fuse in place to make a Block A. Repeat to make 33 A blocks total.

2. Place a yellow print N body piece atop a remaining green print 4-1/2" square (Block B Appliqué Diagram). Position orange print O beak piece and P leg piece, tucking top of leg piece under body. Fuse all pieces in place. Using a fine-tip permanent marker, add eyes on N body to make a Block B. Repeat to make five B blocks total.

3. Using threads that match the appliqué pieces, machine-zigzag-stitch around appliqué edges in A and B blocks.

1. Referring to Table Runner Assembly Diagram, sew together 12 A blocks and two B blocks to make a long border strip, noting orientation of B blocks. Press seams in one direction. The long border strip should be 4-1/2×56-1/2" including seam allowances. Repeat to make a second long border strip.

2. Sew together five A blocks to make a short left-hand border strip. Join remaining A blocks and B block to make a short right-hand border strip, noting orientation of B block. Press all seams in one direction. Each short border strip should be 4-1/2×20-1/2" including seam allowances.

3. Sew a long border strip to each long edge of quilt center, noting orientation of B blocks. Join short border strips to remaining edges to complete quilt top. Press all seams toward quilt center.

1. Layer quilt top, batting, and backing; baste.

2. Quilt as desired. Diane Minkley machine-quilted various-size ovals across the quilt top.

3. Bind with medium green print binding strips.
