quilt block/square or something for a Christmas ornament. I'm going to be in an ornament swap with a bunch of girls I graduated high school with.
I'd like to do some kinda of quilt square but I don't want it huge. Any ideas? Just something around 3 x 3 or maybe a tad larger. Thanks for the suggestions! |
ANY pattern can be reduced in size.......LOL if you're willing. When I first read your question I thought of the Cathedral Window --- though it's not fast.

you can do a simple 9 patch in holiday colors. you'd have to start with 1.5" squares to finish at 1" each. please show us whatever you decide on.

This isn't a block... but.... years ago I made a bunch of yo-yo's, inserting a little bit of batting before pulling the circle closed, and then sewed them in a circle to make a wreath. Add a bow and a ribbon to hang it. They were big sellers at craft shows.

There are Christmas ornaments that you can paper piece. There are some free patterns on the internet. Just do a search for paper pieced ornaments.

There's some PP patterns if you want to do a miniature log cabin with tiny strips. And as already mentioned, any pattern can be miniaturized, just by scaling it down. With it being Christmas, a star pattern would be nice, traditional or more modernistic. |

You could do a simple fussy cut Santa head etc. from a fabric, sew around the edge with it right side together with batt and back and turn right side out through a small unsewn seam spot.
I really like the look of tiny Christmas stockings on a tree as ornaments. You just follow a big pattern only make it 3- 4 inches instead. I like to do them the size for folded money to go in or a gift card. |
