The quilt guild that I belong to desired to present extra fancy ribbons for the special award
categories in our quilt shows. This is the method of construction that I have devised to make
them. The rosettes are tiny quilts ... either pieced or wholecloth and each is either hand or
machine quilted. The “Best In Show”, “Judges Choice”, and “Viewers Choice” ribbons have
ruffles framing the rosette. The writing is printed on Ink Jet transfer sheets for white Tshirts.
Supplies:
fabric for rosette 2 1/2” w satin ribbon 2 CD discs
backing fabric 1 1/2” w gross grain ribbon Tshirt Iron-on Transfer Sheets
light weight batting ribbon for ruffle (optional) hanger back for award ribbons
ROSETTE
- Prepare fabric for the decorative top of the award ribbon. I aimed to interpret the award.
- Place it on top of a layer of batting.
- Cut it in a circle the size of a CD disc PLUS 1/2”-3/4” seam allowance.
- Sew a line of basting stitches in the seam allowance through both layers.
- Pull the ends of the basting thread to form the fabric around the the CD disc.

After the 1st award is printed, cut it the width of the ribbon from the large sheet.
To use the cut away transfer pieces, place each one down the center of a plain
sheet of paper. Use double-sided tape to adhere the backside of the transfer pa-
per to the leading edge of the plain paper going into the printer.

Assemble
- Match the two covered CD’s
wrong sides together. Use a few
straight pins to hold them.
-Blind-stitch them together with a
matching thread. I like to use a
curved needle and the ladder
stitch (alternate running stitches in
each layer). A regular needle
may be used.
