Tudor Rose Christmas Panel Pattern

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.

You will need;
For the main prints - if you are fussy-cutting you will need four fat quarters; if you are not fussy-cutting, you will need: two 5" x wof (width of fabric) strips, one 4.5" x wof strip and one 6.75" x wof strips in four co-ordinating prints
• One 17" x wof strip in a co-ordinating blender for the outer setting shapes (green in my case)
• One 13" x wof strip in a second co-ordinating blender for the triangles and centre circles (red in my case)
• A full set of pre-cut EPP papers (included with this patter)

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.
