    Default Folded wreath question

    I just finished a wreath for my mother and it is much bigger than I thought it would be. Has anyone made this using smaller squares or somehow made it smaller. I think I will experiment and see if it can be made smaller. I saw a picture in a Google search that only had 9 points so wondered if it was made with smaller squares. I would like to know if anyone has made a smaller one.
    Thanks

    I thought I would put in a picture of the wreath I made. It isn't very good because with my first I seem to make a lot of mistakes and my machine was skipping stitches on the zig zag stitches. I know I have to clean it I am sure. I used fairy frost and even with the mistakes I think mom will like it

    I think you wreath is delightful - the decorative stitching makes it look in the photo like it was made with antique handkerchiefs - love that look with the blues!

    It looks great in the picture. I had not thought of the size - people have said it would be a store problem due to the shape and size but appreciate your photo showing the actual size.

    I really like the colors you used. Very pretty but they are big aren't they. Guess that just means I'll have to make one I can leave up most of the year so I don't have to store it!
