How it's made
A red box, a gold ribbon and a big bow on top, all from squares and strips.
A present is one of the easiest picture blocks there is. The box is strips, and the bow is just snowball corners.
Stitch green squares on three corners of a gold square, trim and flip. Make two, and turn one so the loops face each other.
A deep gold square makes the knot, with green above it. Sew it between the loops.
Two red rectangles with a gold strip between make the top of the box. Make a second row the same.
A gold strip across the middle finishes the ribbon cross. Line up the gold strips so the ribbon runs straight.
Sew the bow on top, then frame it in green so the presents in a quilt never touch.
Nine presents and a red border make a quilt to wrap up in on Christmas morning.
