Where would Christmas be without a tree and presents? Now you can gift as many trees as you'd like! This quilt is also great for a seasonal wallhanging or, if using a smaller block, a runner or cushion. Don't forget, creating it for yourself is the best self-care present you could give. For those a little jaded with the traditional red and green colouration I’ve stitched quirky hot pink Xmas Treez wrapped happily in golden tinsel. The blocks are made as rectangles, 4” x 8”, 6” x 12”, and 8” x 16” – with their length double their width. They could be embellished with buttons, beads and charms in an overblown style if that suits. They could have ribbons or rick rack inserted or appliqued. The Prezziez block adds to the theme. They're even easier than the Xmas Treez to piece, if that is possible. These 4”, 6” and 8” blocks are also designed to be played with. Consider adding name tags, button and bead embellishment or real ribbons.
