In this video I show how easy it is to sew a tree block. Some call it Stack and Whack or Stack and Slice but whatever it's called I call it fun. This is an easy block if you'd like to try a little improv quilting. You decide how your little forest of trees will look.

Love Christmas trees! That must be why I have a huge green stash of green.

@rsislandcrafts День назад

Could be. Christmas trees are perfect even the wonky ones.

Very Cute! .... Yes Pink trees,... No green

@rsislandcrafts 2 года назад

That’s the fun thing with trees. They can be any color you like. You could make a pink forest or a neon forest and It would still be amazing. 🦩

@lindamb8962 2 года назад

I like to make children's quilts with house blocks using scraps of bright colored fabrics and novelty prints. Including a few tree blocks will make these quilts even more fun. Thanks for this tutorial.

@rsislandcrafts 2 года назад

Houses for kids sound wonderful. Yes, a few trees would go nicely. You can also use rectangles to make your trees if you want them tall and skinny.

@kathyterrell1547 2 года назад

These trees look really fun. I have seen them before, but have forgotten how to make them. I sometimes get stuck in my head on what to do with the blocks, but really, the possibilities are about endless. I like the wonky look. I used to think everything had to match, and be symmetrical, but I have "grown" beyond that stigma (lol). Have a great weekend, Robin.

Great trees. I really like the small ones. I think it’s the colorful fabric that makes them so eye catching.

@rsislandcrafts 2 года назад

Thanks Karen. I agree. They need a high contrast making them perfect for colorful fabrics.

I made wonky trees sort of like these a few years ago. They were a lot of fun. Thanks for the reminder!

@rsislandcrafts 2 года назад

You’re welcome. They’ve been on my sewing wish list for years. I like how flexible they are and how creative we can make them.

@lesleygilbert1945 2 года назад

I've seen lots of tree quilts/projects over the past few years and always wanted to make something. Maybe this Xmas I'll finally get around to making something; maybe a wall hanging for my niece. Thanks for the inspiration :)

@rsislandcrafts 2 года назад

You’re welcome. I’m the same. So many fun tree projects but I haven’t made any for myself yet.

@marygeorge9688 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing this tree tutorial. The tips you gave are so helpful. I want to make a tree quilt. Perfect timing.

@rsislandcrafts 2 года назад

Thank you. A tree quilt would be so much fun to make. You could plan your trees or just grab your scraps and make a forest. I think a quilt full of holiday trees would be fun too. It would use up the smaller chunks of holiday fabric in my stash. I think an Easter tree can be on the same quilt as a Christmas tree.

@annataylor7226 2 года назад

Thanks Robin for a fun video on this tree block. I associate this tree shape with trees on the mountains. Our trees in the Arizona deserts are more spread out and flatter on top. I might try to make a desert tree block by adding one more cut by cutting a strip from the top and making the two angled cuts not meet, resulting in more of a trapezoid shape. ❤

@rsislandcrafts 2 года назад

That’s the fun of this type of block. You can adjust It anyway you’d like to fit your vision. 🌴

@barbaraandrews402 2 года назад

Thanks for that ! I hope to make some cushion (throw pillow) covers with a bit bigger single tree and use buttons to decorate on the front and use the plain one on the reverse as a label - Christmas 2021 (though there's already sew much on the 'to sew' list) I love all the ideas you give me. Thank you x

@stitchincindi 2 года назад

Neat tree squares! If make with 2 "big" blocks for center of placemats, and could put smaller pieces around?

@rsislandcrafts 2 года назад

Yes. You can mix and match as much as you need. I like the tall skinny trees mixed in with the other sizes. 🌴

@jrs4201 11 месяцев назад

Really helpful and clears up my questions. Thanks much! Did the trees on the bottom have the trunks slightly off center? It seemed a bit like it when u turned them over. Just wondered…like the 4 patch!! Thank you!

@rsislandcrafts 11 месяцев назад

I’m glad my video was helpful. I believe the trunks are centered but it’s been awhile since I made them. I rewatched the part where I added the trunk. I folded my tree in half to find the center point of the base of the tree. I think the angle that I recorded add made It look off especially when you look at the trunk and the point of the tree. You can center your trunk on the base of the tree and also make sure It lines up with the point at the top of the tree. I hope that helps.

I love your wonky trees! Can you show us how to make a wonky house to go with them?!?

@rsislandcrafts 2 года назад

Thank you. Yes, we can make wonky house blocks. I won’t be able to start on them for a couple of weeks though. 🌴

@DeviSisk 2 года назад

When you mentioned pink tree my idea wheel started going. I put up 13 trees each with a theme. I am thinking I could make 13 of the small blocks. One each in the theme of one of my trees. I think I could make a runner for across the top of the couch where cat likes to sit and watch birds.

@rsislandcrafts 2 года назад

I think that’s an awesome idea! It’s fun to carry a theme over into another area. Plus cats love quilts. I love that they keep the fur off of the couch. 😉. 🌴

I have been away for a while...what's the code word for?

@rsislandcrafts 2 года назад

Welcome back. The code word is a fun “game”. If you’re arch my videos from start to end then you’re a super fan. At the end of each video I give a code word that you can use in your comment. It’s helpful for those that want to leave a comment but don’t really know what to say. Of course It helps my channel but I just love reading everyone’s comments to see how they use the code word. Randomly I’ll choose a video and send out a little something to a couple people who have used the code word in that day’s video. It could be a small gift like the needle book or a scrappy card or fabric postcard. 🦩🦩🦩

@betterdazes1648 2 года назад

@@rsislandcrafts That's pretty cool. I like it. 🙂

@rsislandcrafts 2 года назад

@@betterdazes1648 Thanks. Karen’s Puzzles uses a code word with no giveaways involved. When I first heard It I thought It was a brilliant idea. When I watch a video sometimes the only thing I have to say is great video or I love your project. A bit boring. Providing a code word makes leaving a comment easier. 😁
