Wonky Christmas Tree Quilt Blocks

Celebrate the holiday season by making these wonky Christmas tree quilt blocks! I found this tutorial from Leah Day Quilting’s YouTube channel and think it’s the perfect pattern to make this month of December. It looks so festive and fun. I love that it is quirky and colorful, adding more character to the quilt.

The nice thing about this project is that there are no specific measurements that you need to follow. You can make them in different sizes and colors. It all depends on your preference. Be as creative as you want to be. It is also a great way to reuse your fabric scraps. If you have plenty, get them out of your closet and start making this beautiful pattern.

Easy Wonky Christmas Tree Quilt Blocks Materials

• colored fabrics

For the tree trunk

• 2 pieces of 4-inch strips of background fabric
• 2-inch strip of brown fabric

How to Make a Wonky Christmas Tree Quilt

Step 1:

Place the 2-inch strip of brown fabric between the 2 pieces of 4-inch strips of background fabric and sew them together. Cut them into wonky strips using a ruler.

Step 2:

Stack the colored fabrics. Set the width at a minimum of 1 1/2″ inches when cutting them into wonky strips. There is no right or wrong way to do this. If the strips are too long, cut them so that they are the same size as the trunk block.

Step 3:

Get one tree trunk block, then start layering the wonky-colored strips on top. Go from wide to skinny on one layer, then skinny to wide on the second layer. Repeat for the next layers. You can mix up the linear prints with circular prints. Avoid mixing linear prints that go in the same direction. Layer 5 to 7 strips in one set to make a nice tall Christmas tree.

Step 4:

Trim the block to a nice triangle shape. See the photo below for reference. Do not include the trunk block when cutting the triangle shape. You can piece the scraps together to create more Christmas trees.

Step 5:

Take a 6-inch wide background fabric. You can adjust the width of the fabric. Place one side of the Christmas tree on top, line your ruler exactly on the diagonal edge, then cut the fabric. Take the cut background fabric, flip it over on top of your block, line up the diagonals, then sew. Repeat with the other side.

Step 6:

Cut the block into a rectangle.
