Christmas quilted ornaments!

I never put an under cloth on at all and I didn't have any problem with the styrofoam ball showing through.

I am sure, no correction, i know they will be very happy with your wonderful gift and cherish it for years to come.

Just use regular sewing pins.... don't stress about them being thin . Imust have used over 13 pkgs of pins to complete 30 ornaments. Just go to Walmart and buy cheap plan ol sewing pins.

They are size 20 and I think the silk pins, dritz, were like a size 21. I'm hoping to do some today after I finish piecing a top.

(quote=newestnana) links for these ornaments
After seeing them on this board I started making some and it's addictive. They are called Folded Star Ornaments:

best instructions:

Each ornament takes one 3" Styrofoam ball, one 2.5" strip of each of three fabrics (light, medium, dark), some ribbon, a TON of super-fine straight pins, and hot glue gun for putting the final strip around the middle.
At first I was ironing the squares, then got bored and found it worked pretty well without the ironing step
