|
|
|
2. Match edges and pin the shorter strips to the block on opposite sides. Sew the strips in place. Now pin the longer strips to the 2 other sides. Sew these also now in place and trim the seam allowance on the backsides on all sides if desired.

5. Prepare the second block as described in steps 1-4 and sew it now onto the first block. Do this by placing it face down onto the first block, match the edges and sew with 1 cm seam allowance.

6. This is now how it looks. Trim seam allowance.
|
|

8. This is how it looks now. Now you will cut a backing piece and a piece of batting the exact size of the front piece. Add the backside to the front by pinning both pieces together with front sides facing and sandwiching the batting in between. Create the loops by sewing the strips together on the long edges and turning. Place both open ends together and pin these on the top edge of the wallhanging. (These ends will be sandwiched inside the wall hanging once turned).
Sew the wall hanging together with a 1 cm seam allowance. Leave an opening for turning.
Turn and iron. Hand sew the open edge closed.
