Following manufacturer's instructions, fuse to wrong side of appropriate fabrics; cut apart on drawn line. Finger-press light blue, beige check, and beige mottle background squares and rectangles in half on both length and width; use folds as placement guide. Referring to Assembly Diagram and photo, position template fabrics. Following manufacturer's instructions, fuse in place. Appliqué edges by hand or machine using buttonhole stitch (see Diagram I). Embroider details on sun, fish (eye), shell, and sandpiper (legs) using stem stitch (see Diagram II) and brown embroidery floss.
