I never dreamed this pattern would still be popular 12 years after I designed it!
Please note the original 24" size quilt pattern is in the previous post. Just scroll down.
Little Trees Pattern 12" Version
Make four trees using the Tri-Recs tool, or make a template using a three inch square.
Be sure to add a 1/4" seam allowance to your template.
Make the trunk with a 1-1/2" strip of brown.
Measure and add side pieces and trim all to fit 3-1/2" wide, centering the trunk.
Make 20 HSTs that finish at 1 inch.
Cut 4 sashing strips 1-1/2" by 3-1/2"
Sew a HST to the end of each sashing strip as shown.
Sew the sashing strip to the right side of each tree to form a square block.
Sew the trees together so the pinwheel comes together in the center.
Make 4 more pinwheels for the corners.
Cut border strips 1-1/2" x 8-1/2". Sew 2 colored strips together for each side.
Attach borders with pinwheel corners.
This is a rough pattern and hopefully you can figure it out with the help of the photo.
Merry Christmas everyone!

ReplyDeleteA friend made the original for me. I loved it so much, and so I made one in blues and silver as a winter table topper.
Some patterns turn into classics because they will always be fun to make and see. This is definitely one of them!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to heard from you and thank you for the pattern.Love your fabric combo!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the smaller version. Love this little topper!
ReplyDeleteI just finished putting the binding on mine tonight. I made it for a gift exchange quilt, but I’m finding it hard to part with....it’s just so cute. Thanks for the great pattern.
