Just squared up 28 little trees for a swap I am doing. I went to the quilt shop this morning and got my fabric and started cutting and sewing. They were really fun.
We each send 27 trees to the swap organizer and then she is going to send each participant one tree from each of the other participants. This way we will have a beautiful multi-colored tree quilt.
These are very small little blocks, 3.5" x 4" after trimming, so it will end up making a small wall hanging. The instructions have some blank blocks mixed in with the trees. You can see the original blog posting on how to make this here from The Purl Bee.
I found out about this swap from the Misfit Quilters and now I am one too! I can't wait to get all my trees. I am debating on adding some more of my own depending on how big I decide to make it.
The fabric is from Adorn It - Life's a Hoot and I got more than I need of course to help my stash! (Like it needs it) LOL!

Your tree quilt is going to look amazing! What a fun swap.
Adorn it is a new fabric line to me but i LOVE their prints!!! Love these trees. How did this turn out? Wish I would've seen this swap. I would've liked to have done this one because I am like you and just don't have my hands in enough projects!! LOL
I love the tree quilt! I used it to make a sewing machine over. It's really cute.
