Although the four pine tree blocks that make up the center of
the quilt appear scrappy, they do have a few fabrics that are
strategically placed to create a sense of unity. All of the (D) tree
trunks are cut from the same brown fabric as are the thee triangles
at the base of the tree. You may also notice that there are
two olive print A squares and a brown and a blue (A) square
positioned in the center area of the pine tree. There are two
slight variations in the blocks. Notice that the block on the left
has an olive print (A) square positioned below the tree trunk
while the block on the right has a brown print square in this position.
These create a four-patch in the center of the quilt when
the blocks are pieced together.
You also may have noticed that there is no yardage designated for the binding. Save all your leftover fabric, and cut it up into 2-1/4” wide
strips to make a scrappy binding. However, if you’d like a separate fabric, purchase a half yard of matching fabric to bind the quilt.
SEWING DIRECTIONS
Pine Tree Blocks
1. Pair a teal print (B) square with a cream print (B) square, right sides together. Draw a
line diagonally from corner to corner. Stitch ¼” from both sides of drawn line. Cut apart
on drawn line, pressing seams toward dark fabric. Repeat with the remaining (B)
squares to make a total of 56 half-square triangles. (Diagram I)
2. Sew two cream print (C) triangles to the sides of a brown print(D) rectangle, aligning
patches on one end. The (D) rectangle should extend beyond the (C) triangles on the
other end and will be trimmed later. Press seams toward the (D) rectangle. Make a total
of four. (Diagram II)

3. Cut the brown print (B) squares in half once diagonally.
Arrange three brown print triangles, two olive print (A)
squares, and a brown print (A) square as shown in
Diagram III. Sew together in rows then sew together
the rows. Make a total of four.

4. To sqaure off the base of the tree trunk, position a cream print (E) square as shown in
Diagram IV. Draw a line diagonally from corner to corner. Stitch on drawn line. Flip
cream print triangle to right side. If you like, you may trim away the bulk behind the cream
print fabric. Repeat on all four blocks.

5. Referring to Diagram IV, sew together half square triangles and (A)
squares into two sections, paying particular attention to the placement
of the light blue (A) square. Sew the smaller of the sections to the
tree trunk section first. Add the remaining section to the block. Repeat
for a total of four blocks.

6. Position a teal red print (A) on a cream print (F) as shown in Diagram
V, right sides together. Draw a diagonal line from corner to corner.
Make sure the diagonal seams are in the direction indicated in
Diagram V. Stitch on drawn line. Flip teal fabric to right side. Trim
bulk if desired.
Repeat to make a total of four. In a similar manner, sew the dark red
(A) squares to the remaining cream print (F) rectangles. Make sure
the diagonal seams are in the direction indicated in Diagram V.
7. Sew a cream and red rectangle unit to the left side of the Pine Tree
Block, pressing seams toward the rectangle. Repeat on all blocks. Sew an
olive (A) to the cream and teal rectangle unit and add it to the block as
shown in Diagram VI. Repeat for a total of two blocks. On the remaining
two blocks, place a brown (A) square in the olive (A) patch position.

QUILT ASSEMBLY
1. Sew together the four blocks, referring to Quilt Assembly Diagram for block orientation.
2. Stitch cream print 30-1/2” border to sides, pressing seams toward borders. Sew remaining
cream print borders to top/bottom of quilt. Press seams toward borders.
3. Pieced Border. Stitch together 9 cream print (G)s and 8 various print fabric (G)s . Make
a total of four pieced borders. Sew
two borders to quilt sides. Add a
print fabric (G) to the end of the
remaining two borders. Sew to top
and bottom of the quilt.

4. Pine Tree Border Print Border.
Position borders so that a pine tree border motif is aligned with the center
of the quilt. Trees should be facing outward. Sew borders to quilt
sides, pressing seams toward outside edge. Stitch an (H) square to the
ends of the remaining two borders. Sew to the top and bottom of quilt.
FINISHING
1. Layer the quilt top right side up on top of the batting and the wrong
side of the backing. Quilt as desired.
2. Bind with 2-1/4” wide binding strips made from the remaining scraps
of fabric used in the quilt.
