A Very Merry HST BOF: Christmas Wreath

What you will need
Traditional method:
10 – 4″ squares of background fabric
6 – 4″ squares of print fabric

Pair your fabrics up:
2 – background/background
6 – print/background

Alternative method:
3 – 5″ squares of background fabric
5 – 5″ squares of print fabric

Pair your fabrics up:
1 – background/background
3 – print/background

Make your HSTs by your chosen method. If you are using the alternative method, make sure you’re using a scant 1/4″ seam. Press seams open and trim your HSTs to 3″ square.

Arrange your HSTs like the following image.

Sew your HSTs into four rows and press the seams in alternating directions.

Sew your rows together, making sure your seams nest together – pin if so inclined! Press the seams open and trim to 10″ if necessary.
