Fabrics used
QJo used a mix of yellow, orange, pink,
red, mauve and turquoise prints from
her stash for the EPP garland. Each
background is a dierent low-volume
fabric with the EPP in a dierent
formation of colours. Each block has
one green fabric for the stems and then
a dierent green for the leaves on each
of the four stems. The flower heads on
each block are made with four dierent
fabrics, but the tiny circles are made
from the same coordinating fabric.

Notes
QRST = Right sides together.
QRS = Right sides.
QWS = Wrong sides.
QFQ = Fat quarter.
QEnough templates are included for
half a block.

all the way around, sewing through

the paper, or by making a few stitches

to secure the fabric together in each

corner. Alternatively, use a glue pen

to glue the edges around the paper.

Once basted, sew your pieces

RST using small, neat whip or

ladder stitches that catch the edge

of the fabrics and not the papers

inside. First, stitch an A and B shape

together (Fig 1). Add a C square to

the bottom of the B shape (Fig 2).

8

Stitch a D triangle to the adjacent

side of the C square (Fig 3). Add

an E triangle to the third side of the

square (Fig 4) and an F shape to the

remaining side of the square (Fig 5).

9

Add another C square into the

right angle between the bottom

of the A and F shapes (Fig 6). Stitch

another D triangle to the next side

of the C square mirroring the first

(Fig 7), and an E triangle to the

remaining side (Fig 8). Stitch a

straight edge of a G shape to the top

edge of the E triangle (Fig 9).

Place a paper template on to the
centre of the WS of a corresponding
fabric piece and pin. Turn the edges
of the fabric over the paper and tack
