Hey Sash! I made one of these because I saw it on this website. I used St. Pat's fabric because it was for my sister. OMG I struggled with that sucker. I had to have a friend come and help me. In the end I did finish it. My contrast of colors did not work. The pieces I was trying to pull up to meet at the top were too short. The whole thing looked dismal. I threw it in the Goodwill box. If you're not happy there is a place to put it. Keep going! I'm sure you will master it. Then give me a call so you can make one for me!

I recently made this wreath without buttons and my ends came to a point. The way the instructions say to finish it (zig zag stitch) makes the ends come to a point. If I make another and add buttons, I will overlap and make the surface flat so I can add the decorative buttons.

I use deco-bond instead of the Bosai stabilizer. It is a lot cheaper and easier to use. I cut it an inch smaller than my background fabric squares and use it as my sewing line when sewing the background fabric and the contrasting fabric together. I use heat n bond lite for the appliqué.
