Paper Pieced Christmas Tree Sewing Pattern

Check out this paper pieced Christmas tree! A modern Christmas quilt sewing pattern, it's a great first paper piecing pattern to try and uses up the smallest of scraps.

Paper piecing is so much fun, and I’m getting a jump on holiday sewing with this paper pieced Christmas tree! Most traditional holiday decor isn’t my style but I love how the geometric lines and crisp edges of this design looks when it is sewn up. A completed block measures 12″ square and I’m planning on making it into a pillow set with my paper pieced reindeer from another Quiet Play pattern, see it here! . I received this pattern for free as a participant in the Christmas in July bundle sale, but all opinions are my own.

The paper pieced Christmas tree pattern is here and there is also a bundle with a wreath, sled, reindeer, and this tree. I think the tree is unique in that not a ton of the points have to match up perfectly since the tree is tiered, as opposed to matching points that need to meet perfectly. So, it makes a great first paper piecing project to try! If you’re not familiar with paper piecing; you print the pattern out and actually sew through the paper for really precise shapes.

I used up all the scraps I saved from the Christmas quilt I made my mother-in-law, it is the 2015 Cotton + Steel line, Tinsel*. I LOVE the colors – I even used the selvages and itty bitty scraps to make scrappy Christmas ornaments!

I think these will sew up well into a modern log cabin pillow, can you picture it? I haven’t done anything with my reindeer from last year, so let’s hope I can get them done this Christmas! If I were really ambitious, I’d love to see a whole bunch of these reindeer sewn into a full quilt, but that might have to wait until I’m retired.
