Tudor Rose Christmas Panel

Enjoy some peaceful hand sewing with this curved English paper-piecing project to make a beautiful festive panel. Make up six Tudor Rose blocks, then add setting shapes around the outside to make them into pentagons, then join them together with added triangles to make either a wall hanging to adorn your wall or a glorious centerpiece to add to your Christmas table decorations.

This kit includes all the fabric for the top from Makower's Christmas Good Tidings and Linen Textures, including two fat quarters for fussy-cutting, a full set of pre-cut EPP papers and the easy-to-follow instruction booklet.

You will also need;
• Temorary fabric glue pen which you can add above
• Optional - a set of acrylic templates to accompany this project is available here, which help with precision and fussy-cutting
• 32" square of wadding, butter muslin and backing fabric - I used a Red Spectrum Solid
• Thread for piecing - I recommend an Aurifil 50wt - click here for more
• Thread for hand quilting, you can use a heavier weight thread such as a 12 or 8wt, or embroidery floss split into three strands, which I did, and used three skeins.
