Welcome back to the Winter's Walk Quilt-Along!
We got a few inches of snow over the weekend here in New Hampshire and it's definitely helping with my holiday spirit—fingers crossed that it will last! I hope you all had a good weekend and that you're caught up and ready to move on because this week we are making some super cute blocks!
Day 4: Tree Block
Today we're making a Christmas tree block! And with its stitch-and-flip triangles, this block couldn't be easier to make.
Here's the link to today's pattern sheet.
For my Winter's Walk variation, I decided to use a different green flannel for each of the tree units. I'm going for a casual, cozy look and I thought that the different plaids would add some fun texture and interest—and who doesn't love a scrappy tree! One note, if you decide to use flannel for your tree block, press seam allowances open when sewing together the tree and trunk units to reduce bulk. Flannel=bulk.
No special construction tips necessary today because stitch-and-flip corners are fast and easy. This block will be good practice for what's coming up next! So exciting!
Have fun making your tree block and I'll see you back here Wednesday for Day 5!
Happy quilting!
