For last week's Modern Quilt Guild meeting, we had a handmade Christmas ornament exchange. I put mine together at the last minute in about 20 minutes the night before with scraps from my sewing stash. It's a double sided scrappy Christmas tree! It was a super easy project, and I'm happy with the way it turned out... here are some basic steps (sorry, no photos - I was in a rush to get it finished!):
1. Cut out triangles for the tree. I cut out 3 green triangles for the front, and 3 orange triangles for the back. I just eyeballed the green set, and then made the orange set match in size. I also cut out two little brown scraps for the tree trunk.
2. Arrange the triangles and tree trunk of each side and fuse it all at the same time to fusible fleece.
3. With the wrong sides together, zig zag around each triangle and the tree trunk. I also inserted the ends of a bit of ribbon I had lying around into the top point of the tree.
Voila!
These are lovely Jen. I'll have to make some for my christmas tree due to go up this week.
