Tutorial: Patchwork initial Christmas ornament

Sara from alice & lois shares a tutorial at Skip To My Lou showing how you can make these patchwork initial Christmas ornaments. Make one to represent each your member of your family to symbolize your thankfulness for them. You could also use them to make a banner, spelling out a Christmas-y word or phrase. It’s a good scrapbusting project because you can piece together smaller bits of fabric to make the initials.
