Template Mania: Teardrops & Trees

It’s Template Mania time! Let’s play with the Nested Teardrops template and the Tree template. The Nested Teardrop makes gorgeous block design. The border designs are fun and quite easy. Calling the modern quilter, there are some fabulous designs available as well.

The tree template will make the iconic Evergreen tree outline. Let’s make some lovely tree borders. Then we’ll play with the Tree to make block designs that look like snowflakes. And when we are done with that, we will learn how to make lovely spirograph-like designs. Come join me in all the fun! Please contact patricia@quiltersrule.com with any questions.
