These are easy and fast-to-make blocks featuring winter gnomes. Make blocks of gnomes and trees that you can mix and match to turn into placemats, a small table runner, a throw, or decorative pillows. It’s a lovely beginner-level project that can be quilted in your own sewing machine.

Class supplies:

• If you are making placemats, a table runner, or a throw, you need low-loft, thin batting, coordinating backing fabric and extra fabric for the binding.
• Fabrics of your choice – reds and greens, or blues and grays – whatever you have in your stash (the gnomes don’t have be matchy-matchy)! Don’t forget a little bit of pink for the noses.
• Coordinating thread and bobbins
