If you’d like to grab the templates for the pattern go to my link tree and follow to my website for only $1.99!! Here’s what I did: - grab some springy cotton fabric scraps and cut in various lengths of 2” wide. Also cut one 2” x 2” square for your starting point. - cut a coordinating backing piece of fabric, along with a piece of insulbright batting at 10” x 10”. - cut a coordinating strip of cotton fabric on the bias at 1 1/2” wide and approximately 25” in length. - cut out an egg shape or purchase the templates from my website, and trace with a heat erase Frixion pen, onto the insulbright so you have an idea for fabric placement. - make sure backing fabric is facing out, with insulbright on top. Center the 2” square along the bottom trace line. From there quilt as you go, building with the 2” fabric strips. - press when enough strips have been added to cover all the trace lines. Quilt on top a bit more if desired. - retrace the egg shape onto the finished front fabric, making sure the starter 2” square is now at the top. Cut out egg shape on the trace line. - using Heat n Bond lite or ultra, trace out the flower and flower center. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for bonding and iron to cotton fabrics. Cut out shapes, peel off backing, add to the lower right hand corner of the egg and iron in place. - I like to use a blanket or applique stitch to go around the edges of the applique shapes. - attach the binding to the back of the egg, folding over strip at the start and secure in place with wonderclips. Sew into place with 1/4” seam. - flip binding over to the front, fold binding under to tuck raw edges and clip in place. Use a blanket or straight stitch to sew binding down. - if using my templates, the finish is 7” x 8 1/2”. Make sure to save this reel to have instructions handy. A perfect scrapbuster if you have spring fabric laying around! Tag me if you try it!! 🐥🩷🥚🌷 #simplyeilene #hotpad #appluque #easteregg #quiltasyougo #sewingtutorial #lovetosew | Eilene Johnson | Giulio Cercato · Be Creative
