I have a few crafty things up my sleeve this Christmas but I thought I could at least share these for now - fabric banners for the cousins Anja and Lowe.
I have quite a bit of leftover fabric from baby quilts I've made over the past year or two, and have seen this idea make it around the craft blog circles....
It's triangles (or rectangles) of fabric, cut out with pinking shears (or pinking rotary cutter, in my case), which gives it a finished-unfinished edge. I made them two sided, so there are two pretty sides if the banner gets hung in a corner. After some trial and error using ribbon to string up the shapes, I used some leftover quilt binding to sandwich the pieces together, and zigzagged everything together easy-peasy-like. Each banner is about 6 feet long.
Anja's banner will match the baby quilt I made for her back in 2008, which I thought was pretty cool!
Totally fun project. I can't wait to give cousins Lowe and Anja their presents!
