FREE Wreaths for Everyone! (pattern that is...)

*** Project ***

My FREE wreath pattern is very quick to do!  And I must say I gave myself a challenge with this one that I'll explain below.  The Fat Quarter Shop's button club kit is called 'Jolly' so I used the letters on the sashing! Then decorated the wreath with the super cute buttons. 

My Pattern Download is after my tutorial below along with the fabrics and supplies I used

*** Fabric ***

1. I started with this Fat Quarter bundle of Winterberry
2. There were so many cute options! The text print is amazing.  But I had to narrow it down to what you see in the final quilt. leaving me lots to use for something else!

*** Tutorial for bow center***

1. The center of the bows are done 'Sew and Flip'. Draw a diagonal line on the back of the bow center fabric. I used a iron away frixon pen
2. Or you can use your guidebeam built into your Babylock machine like I do with my Solaris
3. Sew ON the line

Frixon Pens

1. Press open the unit and check it lines up with the full square so you know it's sewn perfectly
2. Using the trimming ruler, place the line on the seam
3. Trim 

Folded Corner Ruler

*** Creativity ***

The time honored phrase 'Necessity is the mother of Invention' holds true for quilt designer too!

Because of the size fabric I had, and the need to make this now and not purchase more fabric, I had to get creative with my side triangles! 

*** Tutorial Side Setting triangles***

1. Cut the Side Squares in Half
2. Sew the red strip to the bottom it will be longer then the triangle (sorry i didn't get a photo of that step, the pattern has a diagram)
3. Press the side unit in half and crease it for placement
