Have you seen the latest sew along by the Temecula Quilt Company?
It's called Tiny Tree and looks to be a series of tiny blocks arranged into a tree shape - a Christmas tree of course!
I've sat on my hands all year, not joining in with any of the great projects I've seen online but I've decided now is the time to crumple :-)
There are two weeks of 2¼" blocks, a different one each day.
All it needs is a pile of scrappy greens and a little background fabric. That I can do.
Here's the first one —
This post is my 5th for my 31 day blog writing challenge. Thank you so much for following along and cheering me on ♥

'til next time,
happy stitches,
Very nice..and you're doing well!
ReplyDeleteI am tempted to do a little patchwork again now I am here....
Sweet star! Well done on your posting xx
ReplyDeleteDay 5: Well done Raewyn! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, I especially love fellowship stars, and the smaller the better! Not saying I’ll get time to make one, tee hee, but I’ll be tempted! Already considering ..... do I have any greens suitable? Oh, oh, yes I do .....
Smiles,
Barbara xx
Woohoo Day 5! I think, when I slow down for a bit I will do the tiny tree too. Super simple, and so cute.
ReplyDeleteI was going to do one of her follow along's last year and saved the patterns to do this year and totally forgot about them - I need to look through my patterns saved and organize and plan out next year better - but then something else comes along and I never get to the planned!
ReplyDeleteI have been ignoring all those sew-a-long's too. I also crumpled when I saw this one. Oh yes, I decided to make 6 of them as gifts! Must be a little nuts but who can resist a tiny tree. I can't wait to see how sweet yours will be!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. It's been awhile since I've posted or read blogs and I was so excited to see you there. I had to laugh when you hoped you wouldn't run out of this to say because that's exactly what I've been hoping. I love your block you're doing with Temecula. I keep putting it off, but I really want to do it. Maybe you've inspired me to try. Looking forward to reading your posts for the 31 day challenge.
ReplyDeleteTiny blocks - the first one looks great. xx
ReplyDeleteNow now just because you did not participate in sew-alongs does not mean that you have been sitting on your ass all year :-p I rarely do those sew-alongs because I am too much of a control freak. I wish you good luck in your sew along as well as your 31-day blogging challenge.
ReplyDeleteCute block using the scraps--I would like to do these too--
ReplyDeletebut--I will be behind to do them and wonder is I will have enough
different fabric (shades of greens really) to make it--
time will tell--
luv,di

ReplyDeletesuch tiny pieces... I'm looking forward to seeing the end result...

I've started doing the tiny tree too... and am wondering whether the background should be green? I'm imagining this one sits on top, so would have background around it... but what about block 2?
ReplyDeleteI saw it, and I've even saved it, because I'm crazy that way, but I know I'm never making a 2-3/4" unfinished block. Life is too short. LOL
ReplyDeleteGee I thought this would be the time NOT to crumble???? Lovely Star block though !!!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing better at posting than I am at commenting.......
This looks like an interesting one. Will watch your progress.
ReplyDeleteI’m looking forward to seeing your tree grow. Such tiny blocks. Now is not the time for me to join in any new stitch alongs. Maybe early next year?
