Cozy Christmas Quilt Kit

This is our block for this week

#CozyWreathBlock

These are my fabric choices 

for the appliqués.

If you haven't done so...

Click Here 

to download the cutting guide

And cut all of your 

interfacing and fabric pieces 

according to the guide.

Don't forget to cut your 

background 7" x 7" square.

Also cut a 1" wide strip... 

And prepare the bias tape 

for the center knot on the bow:)

Trace your shapes onto the interfacing.

Remember to trace one of the

 B-13 shapes in reverse 

just like I showed you 

in the week one video.

Stitch onto your tracing lines and trim.

***NOTE***

If you would like to see the video again 

or any of the tutorials for the first three blocks...

I have added a link to each post right here

 on my blog on the right sidebar. 

Just scroll down until you see the week

 that you want to view and click on it.

You will need to be viewing the 

full web version

 of my blog to see the icons on the right.

Make one clip in each "cleavage area" on the wreath shape. 

After trimming your B-13 pieces 

you will need to clip the 

INSIDE CURVE section only.

Clip right to the stitches

 but not into the stitches.

Because of this stitching...

your appliqué piece will lie flat 

after turning it right side out...

Like this!

Lay the wreath out onto your

 background square and position it

 3/4" down from the top.

Now place the circle in the center.

I like to use the markings on my template 

to help with the centering:)

Place the bow ties so that they are 3/4"up from the bottom edge.

Press your bias tape under on the

 2 remaining raw edges like this.

This will be the last piece that you appliqué:)

After appliqueing the wreath

 and the center circle... 

I removed the bow pieces 

so that I could do the ties first...

And then finished up the bow:)

I trimmed up my block to 6 1/2" square and 

I sewed the little bells borders on.

Time for the

Cute Little Buttons!

***You may choose to do this part

 after your quilt is quilted***

I laid out my buttons and

 took a photo on my iPhone 

so that I wouldn't forget

 what color went where.

I used 6 strands of matching 

Aurifloss 

to sew each button on.

I added the flying geese and

 half square triangles on...

and my cozy wreath is decorated!

YaY!

I love this little wreath:)
