This year, I've been on a roll with Sandra's wonky trees, so just kept going and made several of the 6.5 inch size blocks in fun Christmas-y colors - red, green, white, and turquoise. I think I shared this photo of them a few weeks ago. The fabrics are all Grunge Stars except for the green which I couldn't find in the stars design. I used scraps from the gray Grunge that I've been using a lot lately for the tree trunks and some cornerstones that I needed for the final layout.
I love turquoise with Christmas colors!
I thought these trees would make a fun tablerunner, so after adding contrasting border pieces to each tree and those gray cornerstones, I figured out the layout, and it stitched up really quickly!
The backing and binding are from the Holiday Lodge fabric in green with white snowflakes that I got for my Virtual Cookie Exchange blog hop mug rugs.
I packaged this tablerunner up with a cute plate and some Christmas tree candy, and took it to my quilt group get together on Thursday. Hopefully, my friend who went home with it will enjoy having it!
