Hello! It’s Cindy bragging about Sandy designing the cutest paper pieced Christmas block patterns. 
Since Sandy designed 4 very adorable blocks, we’re hosting a PAPER PIECING SEW ALONG. You can make a Christmas banner, a table runner or a mini wall hanging. We think either one is guaranteed to make your 2020 holidays brighter!
The first block is a rustic evergreen tree. For printing these patterns, we suggest using thin copy paper or a special paper made for paper piecing from your favorite quilting store.
Since I am a novice at paper piecing, I used colored pencils to color code the rustic tree block pattern. This helped me to keep track of the fabrics I was using for each section. Who said you have to color within the lines? Not me! 
Here’s a close up of my first tree. I had fun picking out these fabrics! 
Do you need a paper piecing tutorial? Here’s a link to a great tutorial by Crafty Gemini. Sandy and I both learned our paper piecing skills from Vanessa.

Have fun!
Vanessa has great tutorials. I love this tree block.
Yes! Vanessa does have great tutorials! Glad you like the block!
Super cute Christmas trees!
Thanks! They are super easy to make!
Hi Ladies! Thanks for the c.u.t.e PP Christmas tree. I just picked up a whole REAM of newsprint, which I’ve been told is fabulous for PP. I just might give this a try. At the very least, I’m going to PIN it for later. ~smile~ Roseanne
Ohhh, what a great idea to use newsprint Roseanne! Thanks for this tip! Glad you like the block! Since I am a novice at paper piecing by machine, I am glad Sandy designed these blocks to go together quickly.
Made this today. Super easy and pretty. I enlarged it a bit and added a border to make it a 12×12 block.
