Sewing Directions:

  1. Follow the directions included with the Puff Quilting Clip Set and clip;
  2. From green fabric for the Tree make 22 rose designs, 1 cross design
  3. From brown fabric for the Trunk, 1 rose design
  4. From gold silk for the Tree Topper make 1 cross design
  5. Note: After the clips are set on the squares the sewing will be as follows:  Sew the base to the top at two adjacent sides on the stitch line, leaving the clips on the two un-sewn edges.  Turn right side out, set on the background 3 ¼” square, lining up the raw edges and baste to the square. This creates the pockets.  See below for illustrations.
  6. At this time you can manipulate the fabric to create the roses and crosses and add beads and sequins as desired. OR this can be done after the quilt is assembled.
  7. All seam allowances are ¼” wide.  Follow the assembly charts below.

Quilt Assembly:

  1. After all sections are sewn together, trim the outer edges to the size desired.
  2. Make 24 Yoyos. Attach half of the snap to the back of the yoyo and the other half to the wall hanging just above the top point of the pocket. Stitch the lower portion of the yoyo to the top edge of the pocket point, matching up the snap sections.
  3. Layer the wall hanging top with batting and backing; baste.
  4. Quilt as desired. Add binding and a sleeve for hanging.
  5. Remember to sign and date.
