Whenever I can make something with my scrappy strings I am just delighted! We all have those leftover strips from projects be it from a binding or a sashing. And I have a ton of them.
A couple of years ago Heather Mulder Peterson was having a quilt a long using these tree blocks from her book Angles With Ease 2. We were making scrappy trees-I used my strings in various widths.
Sew the strips together, cut triangles using her special triangular ruler, add side half triangles and the trunk. And you end up with tree blocks to make up this runner. In the book it is a quilt, but for the quilt along she gave us the runner pattern. I love making these!
In the first photo you can see I quilted the trees with a wishbone design, and loops in the background. And a version of loopy ribbon candy in the border.
Thanks for looking at my scrappy trees!
