Happy Monday! I hope you had a festive weekend and found some time to sew. Our QAL blocks are starting to pile up!
Today is Day 5 of the Homespun Holiday QAL and we're moving on to one of my favorite blocks of the quilt-along — trees!
Pine trees, Christmas trees, whatever you want to call them, I love these graphic blocks and I think they're especially charming made with plaids. In fact, one of my favorite finishes of the year was made entirely of plaid trees.
If it looks familiar, you're right! This cozy quilt was a big part of the inspiration for our Homespun Holiday project. North Woods is a 60½" x 64½" lap quilt made with one bundle of 42 - 10" squares and background fabric. I made my quilt for fall using a layer cake of Homemade Homespun fabrics by Kansas Troubles Quilters for Moda, but I think it would be amazing made with Christmas prints. You can find the downloadable pattern for North Woods in my Etsy shop.
And now back to the QAL! Here's the link to today's pattern sheet. Please note that today's pattern is two pages long.
Have fun making your tree blocks and have a great week!
