saw these in a magazine recently and just had to make some up. they are just so darn cute! though one could hardly call making them busting stash, they will look so good on a fresh, green, maine balsam tree i think, don't you? other patterns provided were an ohio star and a pineapple block. they didn't take too much time--paper pieced--but are a bit fussy as i hand sewed the binding down; short, chunky fingers you know. oh, and on the cover of that magazine? a luscious scrappy quilt that uses 2.5" squares. hmmm, i think i have some of those lying around.
yep, they are darn cute, and will look really good on a tree. A great find.
ReplyDeleteVery festive for a fresh tree--better than candy canes, I think! : )
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, the 2.5" stash of squares.......
ReplyDeleteStill have some of those.
They look like little peppermints!
