Default Wreath

I also do a cut 5" square and a cut 4 1/2" square (this one I use to make small wreaths to use as easter baskets filling the petals with plastic eggs). The 4" has a 2" down to a shy 1/2" stitch line. But, if you center is larger, you can place something in it, if it is tighter, place your item on top of it! You can also cut a 4 1/2" square and band it to end up with a 5 1/2" finish for a completely different look.
Thank you so much for all those measurements, I will be sure to keep them for future wreath 😁 and yes, they are addictive, I’ve already started on my second one 😉
Have you ever made a double one, with another smaller row on top??? Was wondering how that goes 😁
