Created just in time for Christmas and the Stitch It and Gift It Blog Hop hosted by Carla at Creatin' In the Sticks, my friend is getting an early present. I'm so pleased with how this turned out, I'll have to stitch up one for myself.
Made with both easy fusible applique and piecing, a beginning quilter would have no problem putting this together. The hard part is choosing from all the fabulous Christmas prints available!
Wondering how I got all those tree pieces to be identical? Check out the Creating Identical Fussy Cut Fusible Pieces tutorial for an easy way to do that.
And can you tell I had fun quilting this?
Full of falling snowflakes and snowballs on a string, it's a modified ruler design from the Ruler Work Quilting (affiliate link) - see page 111 of the book for circle quilting ideas. This is just one fill idea for the tree background, as there's so many to choose from!
Desiring trees and snowflakes yet? The Christmas Tree wall hanging pattern is available at Etsy.
Happy Quilting!

Wonderful wall hanging! Your friend is very lucky. Your fabric choices are great and your handiwork, as always, is beautiful! I especially love the quilting you did on this piece!
ReplyDeleteSuch a joyful design. I do applique from time to time. Don't like to do needle-turned, but machine stitched is more up my alley. Happy holidays (early)!

ReplyDeleteApplique is a hit and miss with me. A little bit goes a long way.
DeleteI love applique! in my younger days it was more needle turned but these days I use the sewing machine. Someday I would still love to do a bed sized quilt. I love your trees. I am sure your friend will love it!
ReplyDeleteYou have a very lucky friend to receive such a lovely gift! I do enjoy applique, but piecing is a better friend for me. You chose the perfect fabrics for your applique pieces!

ReplyDeleteHi Susan! I swear I commented on this yesterday but I sure don't see it. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for linking up today. I love this whole project, especially the trees.
