Wreath quilt block tutorial and Fabric Tuesday....

We made this quilt block for sew sweetness' 12 days of Christmas sampler quilt along. Go check it out, if you make all the blocks in the series, you could have a darling Christmas quilt! I would love to make it, maybe next year!

We are making this Modern Christmas Wreath, ready, set, go...

 Pretty easy peasy, you can whip this up really fast, my girls want me to do a whole quilt!

 Step 1- download leaf and bow template HERE.  Cut 4 scraps of green larger than your leaf template.

Step 2- Following the instructions on your fusible interfacing, iron the shape outline to the backs of your scraps.

Step 3- Cut the shapes, and remove backing from interfacing.

I made a fold in the middle of my 12.5 x 12.5 square to see the exact center. Then I just eyeballed the leaves so the tips met, being careful of the center mark to guide my placement.

Next stitch down leaves. I used a sulky green  thread. I think is looks shiny and pretty, I also used a blanket stitch.

Follow the same process with the bow and fusible interfacing. I made the top of the bow lay just on top of the green stitching on the top of my leaves. Stitch down your bow.  

That is it! You have a sweet little modern Christmas wreath.
