Then, sew the two small Color 1 rectangles to opposing ends of the Color 4  1-1/2" x 8-1/2" strip, pressing seams towards brim ...

Now, measure your snowman neck width and height. Freehand cut yourself a scarf shape, remembering to make it a bit wider all around to allow fabric enough to turn under as you hand appliqué it on!

From your "nose fabric" freehand a carrot nose, and cut it out, about 1/8" bigger than you drew it so that you have fabric to turn under when you hand appliqué it on!...

Pin your snowman body to the 12-1/2" x 8-1/2" background rectangle, having the top of the head even with the top edge of the background fabric, and the left side about 2" in from the side. Turn under about 1/8" on the edges as you go, taking tiny stitches just on or under the edge until the whole thing is sewn down as invisibly as possible...

Then sew on the brim and sides combo, as shown...

Sew the hat atop the snowman's head again using a scant 1/4" seam. Press seam towards hat...

Now pin on, and hand appliqué the scarf and nose pieces, again turning under about 1/8" as you go, making your stitches as small and invisible as possible...

Here's one that Deb made!  Carolyn's!
