Welcome back for block 7, Laurel Wreaths.
You will make 2 of these this month.
Laurel leaves were part of my WLL quilt along
back in 2020 and HERE is the blog post
about the original quilt.
Since then, I have been playing with
other layouts. This is one of the layouts
that I have put into repeat as a fabric
design too for that exciting someday...:)
The symbolic history of the laurel is one of
triumph and achievement since the
original Greek Olympics and you
can read more about that HERE if you choose.
I find it a nice easy simple shape especially for
beginner hand appliquers.
The best way I have found to make them even
is to fold my freezer paper in half,
trace half the leaf to my freezer paper,
refold then cut on the traced line.
This gives me a symmetrical
leaf to trace to fabric.
I hope you find some other fun
uses for this fun leaf shape!
