Let’s Sew Some Trees!

In this week’s YouTube tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to assemble the large tree blocks. If you can sew a Flying Geese unit using the stitch-and-flip method, then you’ve already got the skills needed to create these adorable tree blocks. And if you’re into efficiency (who isn’t?), chain piecing is your best friend here—it’ll have you breezing through these blocks in no time.

If you're new here,

here's the scoop: there's no need to sign up for Zen Chic Sew Alongs. You just sew along with us! If you have any technical sewing questions, our Zen Chic Facebook group is the perfect place for exchange. And don't forget, by posting your progress on Instagram using #ThoseTreesQAL, you could win our exciting weekly prizes (find more details at the end of this post)! So, are you ready to create your own wood?

Your Assignment for Week 3: Assemble the Large Trees

All right, quilters, here's your Week 3 mission:

make 5 of those adorable big tree blocks! If you're rocking the table runner version, you're in luck - you only have to sew small blocks, so why not do three of them this week and the other three next week?

Grab your fabrics, pick those fab colors and patterns, and thread that needle like a boss. Let’s dive into stitching these charming tree blocks together! Remember, precision is key, so take your time and enjoy the process.

Your final masterpiece will thank you for it! Ready, set, sew—and don’t forget to share your progress with us. We love seeing your creativity in action!
