May Day Baskets! Making merry dancing around the Maypole! These happy celebrations are evoked with the May Day block (16” x 16”) created by hand or machine reverse applique. WE’ve added some small borders to expand it into a small 22” x 22” quilt perfect for the center of your table or turn it into a pillow for your sofa to bring the newness of spring indoors. Its fun and fast to reverse applique using Eye of the Beholder’s easier Trace, Baste, Snip & Stitch method for hand, or Trace, Snip, Iron & Stitch method for machine.  Pattern comes with step-by-step, directions for all creation methods, and full-size, durable pattern pieces.  No need to enlarge the pattern or re-position fabric as you trace.  Check out our Technique Tutorials and blogs for more help.

Be sure to check out or blog for other design lay outs using this 16” block, like table runners, and quilts.

 This pattern will be available as a digital PDF download as well.
