Sew up Kate Perri’s easy wall hanging in ANGEL BEARS & THREADS, Lynette Anderson’s debut collection for Marcus Fabrics. Its antique appeal and hand work make it a sweet addition to any nursery or children’s play area.

1. Cut down Angel Bear panel by cutting away all of the burgundy flower print. Piece will measure 22” x 28”.
2. Cut three 1 ½” strips of blue ground floral print on width of fabric so that strips equal approx. 44” x 1 ½”, border Angel Bear panel.
3. For the border: Layer several fabrics at a time and cut into approx. 9” x 8” rectangles. While they are still stacked, cut them into several uneven strips at a slight angle. Do this for each of your assorted fabrics.
4. Piece together randomly, leave some odd angles, make four strips, each long enough to use as a border.
5. When border pieces are long enough, cut a straight line down one side and sew this side onto quilt. Do not trim outside of border yet.
6. Pick a fabric for heart appliqués and apply fusible web to the back of the fabric according to manufacturer’s instructions. Draw hearts freehand, and fuse to border of quilt.
7. Embellish angel bears and borders with running stitches of embroidery floss. Use blanket stitch around hearts.
8. Mark a curving shape around edge of asymmetrical border.
