Bring a little barn quilt charm to your Christmas tree with Barn Square Minis Holiday Ornaments: 9-Patch Square from Dr. T’s Wood Barn Quilts. This DIY kit makes a set of three miniature wooden ornaments, each approximately 3.5" x 3.5", laser-cut from smooth, unfinished wood.
Each ornament is built on a 9-patch square layout: a classic quilt block grid of three rows of three squares, set straight so the edges line up with the sides of the ornament. Within that grid, the design is cut as quarter-square triangles, so each square is divided corner to corner in both directions into four triangles. Quilters know quarter-square triangles as the building blocks of hourglass units and many star blocks. You can plan an Ohio Star–style design, an hourglass repeat, or your own arrangement of lights and darks.
The kit includes an instruction sheet, suggested 9-patch quilt block designs, and color plans for several palette combinations. Use festive reds and greens, pick colors that match your holiday decorations, or stain the wood to let its natural grain show. Gold cord hangers are included for the tree or a holiday package.
Please note: These ornaments arrive unfinished and require assembly and decorating. Paint, stain, and other finishing supplies are not included.
