easy trees.

Since I already had the tree pieces leftover from

last year, these were a cinch to make.

I DID need a piece of fabric

BIG enough to fill in the background.

Oh good.

I had it!!!!

That's what a stash is for.

When the inspiration comes...

I'm ready!!!

I began with a square piece of newspaper that I thought would

be big enough. I didn't measure...but I tried to make sure it's square.

That'll make it easier to put the quilt together...

don't ya think??

Ya.

Drew some lines.

Figured out how long I wanted that tree trunk.


Figured out about how big that triangle is.
Then all I had to do was use this as my pattern.

As I added pieces I tried to fudge and make the blocks
a little bit bigger than my paper pattern.
I did not stress about it being perfectly square.
I will just have to square the blocks UP...I mean DOWN... when I'm done!

Super simple.
Not complicated at all.


Now....I've got to think!
Should I use black in those outside corners???

Hmm.....
