Another Modern Christmas Tree

 

This is the third one of these I've made, from the pattern Modern Patchwork Christmas Tree by Frivolous Necessity. The pattern is available on Etsy. I made this one exclusively with scraps from Tula Pink fabrics. It's definitely not a traditional Christmas color scheme but I think it works! I gave it to a relative who lives in Florida and likes bright, tropical things. I used a higher-loft batting than I should have and it came out really wavy!

I think it's fun how every time I make this pattern it looks different. I should do a post comparing all three quilts I've made, two with traditional Christmas palettes and then this one.  We almost kept this!

Christmas Music Quilt for My Piano Teacher

 

Another fat-quarter star quilt done, this one gifted to my piano teacher. It's music notes and Christmas fabric. It's prettier than it looks in the picture. The Christmas fabric was a set I got from the guild's scrap table; actually so was the music fabric! I used up some scrap binding and about a fat quarter of another fabric, plus a yard and some scraps for the backing. And even scrap batting! So it was a scrap victory even though it doesn't look like a scrap quilt.

The quilt finishes to around 40x40 which makes a good lap size for many people. I hope my teacher enjoys it! I've wanted to make him a quilt for a while now.
