I have been slowly working on making this Lovely Little Forest Quilt from The Purl Bee. I think they offer the most adorable projects!
The project calls for 25 tree blocks, cut to 3.5 inches wide by 4 inches tall. Then you arrange the trees with 15 plain blocks of the same size. The sample shows light green trees at the top and darker green trees at the bottom. I’m planning to do a simple, random arrangement. I ended up cutting way more pieces than I needed, so I decided to make two of these quilts at the same time, one for our house and one for a gift.
Since I’m not in a rush to finish this, I don’t know if I’ll have it done in time for Christmas, but I’m okay with that. It’s just nice to have a no-pressure Christmas project to be working on in between all the other things going on these days.

Those are very cute trees. Love the idea of random. That is what I like.
Oh Terri – what a cute project – it’s adorable. Thanks also for the link to the purl bee site – I’m looking forward to having a good mooch around there, it looks brill :0)
Oooohh this looks like a fun project. I love tree blocks but have yet to make any myself for some reason. I’ll have to put that link in my bookmarks for a future project so thank you for sharing it. 🙂
Dear Terri, you see you did it again…I just love those trees! I had to visit also the PurlBee! This is just what I needed now to get a new quilt started! I shall make a quilt ‘Finnish Forest’…oh and I have to finish Christmas things before I can start…perhaps at least some buiscuits…
Thank you so much for inspiration!

I love that! I made one for a swap last year and I miss it! Going to have to make another one 🙂
I love this project. Your trees are so sweet!! I love your idea for random placement. I can’t wait to see it finished… ya know, when it’s ready. ; )
I love these little trees! I love having projects like this too…no rush projects that can be used for a gift when finished…but for which there isn’t really a deadline!
Sooooo adorable!
As a tree hugger who happens to own alot of green fabric, I’ve been meaning to make this for a couple of years now. What a good influence you are, Terri! Your trees are perfect – can’t wait to see the finished quilt!
It is going to look amazing! You have used such cheerful green fabrics.
Just spotted you over at Sew mama Sew 🙂
Look at all those perfectly matched trees. You’re doing a great job and ya know, if you don’t finish by Christmas, who cares. If you are anything like me, creating something in my perfectioist ways is better than to meet a deadline. Plus, look how far ahead of next Christmas you’ll be if it’s not finished until even February. LOL
Looks adorable so far! I definitely agree that a no pressure project is important to have…
I have seen these trees elsewhere in blogland–they are so precious:) A tree skirt comes to mind with them.
i love this project! i really want to try it some day too!
your trees are just darling
I would love to walk through that forest. You fabric selection is spot-on, Terri. Can’t wait to see the finished project.
Take care,
Cassie
Your little pair of tree quilts are sure to be very cute. It will really show off your variety of fun green prints.

The trees are so great! What a cute idea 🙂

Your trees are just lovely…I found you through Flickr, I just finished a mini quilt using the same tutorial, but I left out the white blocks, and only used the trees, 24 to represent advent. I will watch out for your finished quilt.
oh, these are achingly cute! i feel my “to do” list getting a bit longer. sigh.
Trees are my favourite ‘plant’ so these are just the best! Lovely work.
