Teetering Christmas Tree Block

Another exciting Split Triangle Row pattern! 

Using this method make Split Triangle Rows for your Teetering Christmas Trees.


 For this pattern you will require 
2 pairs of green and cream HSTs (made from 5" squares). 



 Split your rows like this.  
Use this tutorial as a guide. 
 


 Cut:
2 - 5" x 13" cream rectangles.
1 - 1 1/2" x 13" brown strip. 
 
You may notice that the cream rectangles in my photos are smaller than I am directing.  I would have preferred them larger for trimming later.  



Sew the cream and brown pieces together.

Cut them into random sized rectangles like this. 
Oh geez...I should have taken 2 photos!


Alternate the Split Triangle Rows 
and the rectangle strips to make trees. 
 

Sew together and trim.

This odd-block setting would make a fantastic Christmas Quilt 
with the Teetering Trees.

Split Triangle Row Quilt (Step 2)



 Please start here at Step 1 to produce your Split Triangle Rows,
using 96 HST blocks. 


To create the layout as described here you will require setting rectangles.

Cut:
2 - 2  1/4" x 8 1/2" background fabric.
7 - 4" x 8 1/2" background fabric.




Using your setting rectangles, layout and construct your top as in the following photos.  






This is long and narrow (approximately 27" x 54") and will be used as a table topper.  I will add 5" borders once my sewing room is back in order from water damage this summer :( 

The finished top will be 37" x 64".
