I’m participating in a mini block exchange for the holidays. I’ve come down to the wire as the blocks are due to the swap hostess next week! I managed to carve out a little bit of time after work this week to make 4 mini Santa blocks. These are different Santas than shown in my earlier post here.
Carol Doak designed these as well and just posted them as Christmas Ornament blocks for her Yahoo group.
Here are the 4 blocks together:
Mini Santa Blocks
These blocks actually have a 1/2 inch seam allowance so the can easily be used in these keepsake frame cards:

The Santa faces looked a little blank so I added small brown eyes using embroidery thread. I’ll leave any other embellishments up to the individual receivers. But, wouldn’t the Santa look cute with a miniature white pom-pom at the top of the hat?

Since these blocks are pretty quick to come together, I’m sure that I’ll sew a few more before Christmas.
I think they would make adorable holiday gift tags as well.
Happy piecing!

Hi Beth, thanks for your comment! The red snowflake fabric is Jovial for Moda, #30266. I also have the same pattern in a black print which works well for these little blocks too.
Love the red snowflake fabric you used to frame the block. Would you know the name of the fabric? Very cute!

These are adorable! I’m new-ish to Carol’s Yahoo group and I saw your post about these little guys so I thought I check them out. I escpecially like the red print on the outer corners – great fabric!
