Ready to make some happy little trees? In this step-by-step Bob Ross-inspired video tutorial (below), I’ll show you how to create scrappy Christmas tree quilt blocks using an easy improvisational technique – no pattern required.
Whether you’re making a wall hanging, pillow, table runner, or snuggle quilt, this project is beginner-friendly, fat quarter-friendly, and full of creative freedom. You can make your blocks larger or smaller; but each of the sample blocks finishes at 9″ x 7“, and every tree is unique – short, tall, skinny, wide – with varied trunks and angles for extra charm.
This is the perfect low-stress quilting project to embrace playfulness and anticipate the holiday season – even when it’s broiling hot outside!
So, grab some fabric, and let’s sew up some festive “Christmas in July” fun together!
✨ Coming next month: A follow-up video on how to turn these blocks into a finished quilt or holiday project.
