How do you put the fabric on?  Just tie it like you do with yarn?

Well thank you for all your suggestions.  I decided to purchase a  charm pack which is pre cut 5 inch squares.  There are 50 different  sqsquares in the pack which is all different Christmas fabric.  So I plan  on cutting these in half which will give me 100 of the pieces and then I got  another Christmas mini pack which I believe is 8 different 9 by 45  size  pieces of fabric which will give me 192 pieces to do the wreath.  I will  have to do some strip cutting with my rotary cutter, but that is OK.  I  bought a half yard of Christmas red and half yard of Christmas green to make a  bow out of.  I am hopeing to get at least 2 or more wreaths.  I will  probably use some of the solid red and green too.

Hey you quilters out there.  How long ago have they stopped making  100% cotton micro dot fabric?  I use to use that all the time to accent or  bring out a color in my calico fabrics.

I had the lady at Keepsake to check it for me.  We use to use mini  dots, then they started making the micro dots.

If the torn edges don't look like they are  going to unravel too much, then 
torn edges could look nice.   Otherwise, stick to cut  edges.
