Kitty Wilkins, aka The Night Quilter, has been hosting a tiny ornaments sew along for the last couple of weeks. I've been slightly dull and made 9 of the same pattern (so far!) - but I really love this stupidly small Christmas tree!
So there was a bit of this going on - trimming blocks and cutting ribbons for them, before sewing around them ready for stuffing and finishing.
But one of the best things about them? All the trees and the immediate backgrounds for them came from the scraps from some of these star blocks!
Isn't that great?
I've kept the rest of the triangles from the 'covered corner' method that was used in this pattern to use in more tiny stitching silliness - although they wouldn't usually meet my standards for keeping, as I can't cut a 1.5" square out of them....lucky these tiny ornaments can rescue them!
These are the final two stars of the nine to make the first quilt. Still not laid out and sewn together! Still, progress, even if slow, is progress.
This is such a lovely quilts . You are so skilled and adept with your hands.
