Block 5 combines an appliqué block with a 8" pieced star. Complete instructions for making Block 5 are found in the pattern. In this month's blog I'll share a few extra tips for making the block as well as a few close-up images.
- The little squirrel has some pretty small patches, especially the ears. With a little patience the ears can be appliquéd, but if you're not up for the challenge, they can also be satin stitched.
- Decorate your tree! The pattern shows a single strand of garland wrapping around the tree. I chose to do a chain stitch, but it would be cute with other decorative stitches or possibly trim of some kind. You could also add other decorations besides just the ornament balls.
Have fun! Be creative! The details are what makes the quilt interesting and unique. Make the blocks your own way! If you have any questions or comments, please be sure to message me ➡️HERE.
