I have a finish to share today - Joy!
This is a design I found on Pinterest which links to this site. I didn't follow the construction method they talk about there, just cut lots of 2.5 inch background squares, various bright holiday prints, and a few 2 inch squares for the stitch and flip corners. Then, just sewed up the rows into blocks.
Once I had the layout figured out, this went together quickly and easily!
The backing is that fun Christmas text print I shared a few weeks ago, and the binding is a dot fabric that also is in the Joy letters. I wish I could show you that it has a little sparkle to it, too!
I did add triangle pieces in the top corners on the back for hanging this somewhere. I think it would make a great door banner! This will be a gift for a friend - so happy to have it finished even before Thanksgiving!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your post on your Joy banner! I got so inspired that I have made two in two different sizes. I decided to turn the letters horizontal so I can give them as small decorative runner gift.
