Sew Christmas Tree Quilt Blocks
Use my Christmas Tree quilt block pattern to sew a batch of easy 10" patchwork Christmas trees. The angled ends of along each area of the tree are simple to assemble using the quick-pieced Flying Geese method -- the same method used for quick piecied Snowball quilt block corners.
The tree is illustrated with a light background, but any mottled, tone-on-tone fabric or smallish print will work.
Make your trees and background realistic, or choose something entirely whimsical.
The Christmas tree quilt block pattern is perfect for holiday projects, but don't hesitate to use it for any quilt. Try a four seasons wallhanging, sewing the branches and background for each block with fabrics that represent the shift of seasons.
Dress up Your Christmas Tree Quilt Blocks
Dress up the Christmas Tree blocks by cutting teddy bears, Christmas packages, Christmas stockings and other items from printed fabric. Hand or machine applique the prints to the block or press them in place with fusible web.
Finished Block Size: 10-inches square
