Hello Maryann

This is a little decoration I made with my group here in the city last year as part of our Christmas gift exchange. It was a pattern I followed from a German Patchwork magazine.
The Tree button I added as an extra LOL.

BTW Welcome to the board from Nottingham, UK & Robin Hood. :P

Welcome Maryanne. Like zennia, I too make mini quilt blocks say 3 to 5 inches in size; then sandwich with a backing and flannel. Can bind (more work) or just sew around sides and leave opening to turn. Doing some now!

Greetings from Eastern Tennessee, Maryanne!! Nice to have you joining us.
I saw some darling ornaments made of yo yos when I went to the National Quilt Expo in Knoxville. Ladies from one of the guilds were making them and selling kits. they used red and white striped fabric and made candy canes, then there were stockings, and then someone made yoyos in graduated sizes and stacked them to make darling Christmas trees.

this is a real cute yo-yo tree ornament

this cute little yo-yo tree can also be a pin cushion

this is an adorable little stand up tree

While these are all adorable, my first reaction to your question was to suggest doing tiny blocks, using Rhonda's wonderful templates and instructions! What a great way to test out her methods without committing yourself to a full quilt of tiny blocks. And if you made 2 blocks, sewed faces together, turned then lightly stuffed, you wouldn't need binding! You could add a couple beads to "quilt" the layers, or do just a simple stitch in the ditch thing.

Good luck finding what you want. Be sure to show us!
