by Debra Feece

If you like folk art, you'll love making this block.

BLOCK SIZE: 5" square

MATERIALS

Assorted scraps of light, medium and dark prints
Fusible web
Embroidery floss in assorted colors to match or contrast with the print scraps

CUTTING The appliqué patterns are full-size and do not need a seam allowance. Trace each pattern on the paper side of the fusible web. Also, draw a 1/4" x 3 1/2" rectangle for the tree trunks. Rough cut around the traced shapes. Following the manufacturer's directions, fuse the web to the wrong side of the fabric scraps. Cut the fused web pieces out on the drawn lines.

Cut 1: 6" square, light or dark print background fabric

DIRECTIONS

Trim the 1/4" x 3 1/2" rectangle into desired lengths for the tree trunks.

Lay the appliqué pieces, fusible side down, on the right side of the 6" background square in this order: church, door, tree trunk(s), tree(s), and the stars, moon or sun, as desired.

Rearrange the pieces until you like the placement, keeping the outer edges at least 3/4" from the raw edges of the square.

Following the manufacturer's directions, fuse the fabric pieces to the square.

With 2 strands of matching or contrasting embroidery floss, embroider around each piece with a buttonhole stitch.

Trim the block to 5 1/2" square, keeping the appliqué centered.
