Printed pattern Panda Wreath BOM Month 2 bamboo baby panda giant panda

Printed pattern for Month 2 of the Panda Wreath Block of the Month.
Block 2: right upper border section with 2 baby pandas measuring 19 by 7" finished.
​

The full quilt is a deep palette of dark green and emerald tones with a dark green Panda family in the centre and tumbling baby pandas around the outside, along with bamboo, pine trees and hydrangeas.
There is a central 12" square panel and then four border sections to make five blocks in total.

The quilt itself is in my usual style, so it is a patchwork background with raw edge applique sewn with free motion embroidery. You don't need a fancy machine to sew it but your machine needs to be able to do free motion embroidery. The pattern contains basic instructions for the patchwork. I don't go into a lot of detail on patchwork as I am assuming that you know the basics but other than the odd half square triangle, it is all pretty simple. The kits contain the fabrics, freezer paper and stabilizer you will need to complete the top. You will need to purchase your own threads but I do list every thread that I use so you can use the same if you wish to. The fabrics are supplied as a rectangle/square big enough for the shape you need. No laser cutting so you are relying on freezer paper/pencil and scissors to cut the shapes out yourself. I like this step as it is quite therapeutic. I label all the fabrics with little stickers which tell you what they are to be used for so it makes it a little easier to know which bit goes where. I use raw edge techniques and the patterns are using those instructions.



Hopefully that all makes sense, but please don't hesitate to ask if anything is unclear..
