This
small Christmas quilt is so cute! Diamond shapes and triangles are
arranged to form rows of little trees.
I
used Hattie's Choice Accuquilt die again to cut the red and green
shapes, then added half square rectangles on each side. A bright
border of red with green dots just sets it off.
Backing is a holiday
print of nested squares. Using green thread, I quilted in serpentine stitch
horizontally and vertically. Nice
for a wall hanging or table mat, Merry Trees is 23” x 35” in
size.
Accuquilt dies used:
Hattie's Choice 55220

½” x 6 ½” half rectangle triangle 55411
I'm
enjoying a simple, quiet Christmas season. No parties, no nonsense,
no drama. We haven't wanted to shop (except a bit online), so we
avoided the pressure to buy just for the sake of a sale. It's
empowering to ignore others' expectations and satisfying to do what
you like.
Remember,
it's your Christmas,
so
march to the beat
of
your own little drummer boy
