2010 Quilted Angel


This angel is one I purchased from gift shop and took apart to see how to duplicate it. 
I don't have a pattern with specific details, but I can share general instructions.

You will need to purchase some quilted Christmas fabric and cut 2 pieces, one for the wings and one for the body/robe of the angel. I have seen many examples online where those pieces are cut into various shapes. You can experiment and find shapes that work for you. Here are my best descriptions of the pieces I used:
  • Wings -- This piece is sort of an oval shape, about 3" in width and 2" in height. I have seen others where the wings are cut in the shape of a heart.
  • Body/robe -- The best way I can describe this small piece is to draw a circle about 2 1/2" in radius. Then cut a piece from that somewhere between 3/8 and 1/2 of the circle. You will then fold the two sides of the piece and glue the edges to form sort of a cone shape.
Glue the wings to the back of the body/robe. Glue on a narrow ribbon for a hanger and a clear marble (approx. 1/2") for the head. Add a small ribbon bow beneath the head.
