Got your note. yes, I have made the doubles. I used a cut 6" and a cut 4 1/2". I forgot to add that the interfacing I use is 950 shirtweight. It adds a bit of stiffening but is very easy to turn and to topstitch (I cut it a bit smaller than the finished size). So, if I make the cut 6", finish 5 1/2", then I cut the strip at 5 1/2". BUT, being that it is 20" wide, I cut the pieces at 5" getting 4 across. This becomes the best use of the fusible and it doesn't hurt the wreath being that tiny bit narrower. Another fun thing is to do the backside (outside petals) in a stripe. With a bit of placement, you get a great pattern on the backside. I also make the hexagon wreaths (called blossom wreaths) but the calculations are a bit trickier to figure out. If you want to see an assortment of designs, go check out esty.com/AbbyLynns. They are outstanding stash busters. You will find yourself spending a day just matching up your fabrics! - TIP - for storage or shipping, cut toilet paper holders in half and stuff a 2" piece in each petal. It helps them keep their shape and doesn't add any weight for shipping. Only thing is your kids think you are nuts when you ask them to start saving the cardboard!
