Christmas Ornaments is a 12" quilt block.
Made using traditional piecing methods.
Read through entire instructions before beginning. Press all seams open as you go.
STOP: Stitch, Trim, Open & Press. To perform the STOP method, align a square (A) or rectangle (C) on the corner of the unit (B) with right sides facing together. Draw a diagonal line and sew along this diagonal line. Trim a ¼” seam. Finger press the seam open and then press with a hot iron. Pressing the seams open to reduce bulk is recommended.
Step 1: Sew the Grey (K) between the White (J) rectangles. Crosscut this strip set into (5) 1” wide strips. Trim the sides of each of these units as follows: 1 @ 4.5” long, 2 @ 3.5” long, 1 @ 3” long, and 1 @ 2.5” long.
Step 2: Sew the Grey (Z) strips between the White (DD), (LL), (MN), (RP), and (QP). Trim 1/8” off the sides of the units - trim to the following sizes: (DZD) 4.5” wide by 3” tall, (CZC) 2.5” wide by 1.5” tall, (MZN) 3” wide by 4” tall, (RZP) 2.5” wide by 7.5” tall and (QZP) 2” wide by 7.5” tall.
Step 3: Use the STOP method to add the White (A), (B) and (C) squares on the corners of the Bright (H) and (F) squares and (E) and (G) rectangles.
