Little Swiss Flag Garland Tutorial

Who can stop at just one cross? They are highly addictive. See my previous tutorial for a quick way to make cross blocks. Once you have a few you can make this garland if quilts are a bit much still.



I used vintage fabrics and salvaged linens for mine.







Step 1



Take the cross block and place it wrong side to wrong side with matching back fabric or fabric of your choice.



Step 2



Stitch two straight lines down the squares and their backing.

Step 3



Cut the blocks apart.

Step 4



Use scalloped scissors or zigzag scissors for the edges.



Step 5



Here is where we make the jam folks. start on one end leaving plenty of extra thread- 10 plus inches. Then keep stitching all the squares together- without cutting them apart- just keep stitching away, one right after the other.



So it looks like this.

Tada! Your little swiss flag garland.
