Trace an Australian gum-leaf design
Set I pairs gumnut and gum-leaf shapes for a botanical block, a repeated border or an appliqué project. Use the two guides together or trace individual shapes between other motifs.

Where to use the designs
Arrange the leaves and gumnuts on the block before marking. Vary their angles for a natural layout. The same outlines can guide appliqué shapes.
How to quilt with the templates
Trace the design with a removable fabric marking pencil, then lift away the template. Sew along the marked lines with your feed dogs up and an open-toe foot compatible with your domestic machine. Test the marker on scrap fabric first.
What’s included
Two clear Set I tracing templates. Pauline’s Set I design guide (PDF) shows more ways to lay out the motifs.
