Folded and stitched table wreath tutorial

Yesterday I spent a lot of my day trying to sort out a pattern that I had seen on a quilting page that I am part of through Facebook. I looked high and low on the interweb, trying to find free patterns or tutorials only to end up with nothing apart from patterns that had to be bought so I thought why not write up my own tutorial? I have had friends ask me how it was made and trying to describe it in a message was confusing even to me so o sat down this morning and wrote my first ever sewing tutorial...

I will apologise to anyone who feels I have plagiarised their work. I have not purchased a pattern, I have worked this out by looking at photos of it and going through a testing phase of trying to get it to work.
I would like to thank the ladies on the quilting page that I am a part of for their help and patience. If you do have a problem with this tutorial being on here, please don't hesitate to let me know. So without further ado here is my version of the folded and stitched table wreath.

If you have any questions please ask and I will help you the best I can. Any ways I off to make another one for my kitchen table so until next time, stay safe and have fun

And just in case you can't see the instructions very well I will also publish them here

Folded and stitched wreath tutorial.

What you will need:

13" by 48" of fabric A
13" by 48" of fabric B
18" by 48" fusible wadding
Matching thread
Rotary cutter and ruler

Preparation
Cut 12 6 1/2" squares from fabric A and B
Cut 12 6" squares from the fusible wadding

Sewing
Iron fusible wadding to wrong side of fabric A squares
Using a 1/4 seam, put squares right sides together and sew around the edges, leaving an opening so that you can turn the squares inside out.
Clip corners and turn the square inside out

Iron

Assembly
Using a water soluble marker mark 3" on either side of the top point and 1" on either side of the bottom point and connect the 3" mark to the 1" mark (see diagram)

2. Continue to do this until all the squares have been sewn together and make a ring
3. Hand sew point A to point B using matching thread.
Your finished product should resemble the photo below

    I would like to make this. What is the length of the drawing from the point (near the 3" mark) to the opposite point (near the 1" mark)? Thanks for posting.

    Hey. The small ones on top are from the back fabric (the one that sits on the table)

    It is necessary to use the fusible webbing or can you just sew these together w/o it? Will it turn out the same? Do you have a video to watch also?

      Hey Patti you can use regular wadding if you want. I just found the fusible one easier to use

    I made one but it didn't have much space opening in the center. Used same measurements. Has this happened to anyone else? Looks OK but no space for candle etc. M. Tice

    When using the wadding or foam is it put on bottom squares or on the top squares. I have the pattern but it is so dang hard to understand.

    I messed up and cut 5-1/2 squares do you know by chance the measurements for the lines? I thought I could see the other instructions; silly me.

    Hi, On the assembly instructions, picture shows for the 1" and 3" markings, then below the picture continues with #2 #3 and so on. What happened with the assembly #1. What does #1 say?
