I really loved Tippi/Mildreds wreath sew much in fact that I had to try it out for myself, I searched the internet just like Susan said & found this site with a tutorial with pictures, & although she did hers in a couple of hours I took abit longer then that. But still it only took me 3 & a 1/2 sew not too bad. I really like it & will have to finish it up all fancy with quilting & a bow but for those of you thinking about doing one yourself it is really easy. Even if you don't have the right ruler as my pic shows here I did the squares with an 8" ruler & then made my own 6.5" square & it works just great! what do you think for 3.5hrs work?the first picture is how you sew the blocks & then the rulers that I used & the last picture is what it looks like after you cut it out & put them back together! I have to say if I was doing this block by block it would have taken me alot longer ALOT LONGER!

This looks great!

Very nice. This design is so much fun. It looks complicated but it is easy enough for a beginner. You really feel like you've accomplished something when you're finished. Glad you found the tutorial. Hugs, Susan

At first I thought the first picture was the back side. Amazing that a few cuts produced the finished wreath. Very pretty fabrics.

thanks Shirley me too Hugs Loralye

because I have used a bigger ruler the finished pc is pretty big as it measures 42"x42" & I think that I will add a dark green all the way around it! It will be for a table center pc.
