Ideas wanted - Christmas ornaments(??) from 2-1/2 strips
I've been working on turning a bunch of my late Grandmother's dresses into quilts to give to my aunts and uncles and it looks I am going to have lots of 2-1/2" strips left over after making all of the quilts.
I thought it might be nice to turn those leftovers into Christmas ornaments that I could give out to my cousins. The colors from her dresses aren't particularly "Christmasy" but I think they'll be appreciated anyway. Anybody have any ideas I could use for this? The simpler the better, so I'll have time to make enough for everyone! Or other similar ideas? Something small and simple that can be made from a mix of 2-1/2 strips that would appeal to people of all sorts of ages and genders. (I have LOTS of cousins!) |
If you make them into small fabric frames then a picture could be put into the middle for the tree. My favorite way of remembering those that have passed.

How about a star, or this

Here's a link with a bunch of ideas.
http://www.favequilts.com/Quilted-Ornaments I like the folded star ornament. I think it can be made on a flat surface, too, but it looks so difficult, but really isn't. |
Make any quilt block pattern you wish .... just small sized, so you can hang it on the tree!

These look great! Thanks for the links. I took a quick look - will have to look more when I'm not cheating and playing around online at work. LOL

how about the ball where you cut 2 1/2" sqs and stuff them into the Styrofoam ball with glusde. they come out nice and are quick to do. even kids can do it.
