Celebrate all things miniature with these adorable Granny Quilt Christmas ornaments. Learn how to make them with our free tutorial.

I love all things miniature! Growing up, I really did believe in fairies, and to this day, miniature things spark my imagination, taking me back to the realm of tiny elf people, fairies, gnomes, and more.

This ornament features a tiny rocking chair, a tiny teddy bear, and a tiny patchwork quilt; this ornament is the perfect gift for the quilters in your life or anyone who loves a cozy, granny-chic aesthetic. And best of all, this project is a great scrap buster!

Supplies

• Assorted Scrap Fabric

• Spray & Bond Fabric Stiffener

• Miniature Rocking Chair (I found mine HERE)

• Optional: Miniature Teddy Bear (I found mine HERE)

• **If adding a teddy bear, you’ll also want either hot glue or a strong craft glue

• 3-4 Clothespins or another type of clip to hold the fabric in place

• 12” of ribbon or string to hang the ornament

Step 1: If your rocking chair came with a glued on bow like mine did, remove the bow.

Step 2: Cut out 1” squares from your assorted scrap fabrics. You’ll need eighty 1” squares.

Here is my stack of tiny squares. I recommend choosing fabrics with small scale prints since our finished squares will measure just ½”.

Step 3: You can begin sewing your squares into rows (if you do this, you’ll want to sew 8 squares per row with a total of 10 rows).

• I suggest sewing four patch blocks. I find doing this creates more stability to the rows. If you sew four patch blocks, you’ll need to sew 20 blocks. (For a visual demonstration, see my Double Four Patch video HERE. While the video is demonstrating a double four patch, it also shows how to make the single four patch.)

• Sew 5 rows of 4 blocks each, then sew the rows together, pressing the row seams open.

Step 4: Once your mini quilt top is assembled and pressed, spray it with the Spray & Bond Fabric Stiffener. You’ll want to spray it until it is completely saturated on both sides.

Step 5: Now comes the fun part! Drape and shape the quilt over the rocker. I pleated mine with 2-3 small folds over one corner of the rocker, extending about 1” over the back side. Then I draped it over one arm of the rocker, trying to make it look as natural as possible.

Step 6: When you have the mini quilt arranged how you want it, use clothespins to hold it in place while it dries. I let mine dry overnight.

When you remove the clothespins, the quilt should be firmly attached to the rocker, as the fabric stiffener acts like a glue. If not, add a little hot glue where needed to hold it in place.

Step 7: Hot glue (or use craft glue) the teddy bear to the opposite corner of the rocking chair.

Step 8: Loop the ribbon or string through the open corner and tie a not.
