The third row in the Christmas Celebration Row of the Month club at Shabby Fabrics was trees. I'd made the second row of stockings first in
my previous post. Upcoming rows are 4) Gifts, 5) Wreaths, and 6) Ornaments. After struggling with my stocking row, the trees went together fairly easily. I could assemble the four strips/level of each tree and wait to press until the adjacent neighbor was determined. Then I could alternate the seam direction for the white background. "Press to the dark side" was not always best. I do like that the trees have separating spacers between some of them to break up the rigidity of an all-in-a-row look.
I made up into pinwheels from all those triangles cut off at each level of each tree. Those six trees yielded twelve pinwheels. They are pressed but not yet trimmed to be truly square and accurate
The fabrics were again from the Emmitt and Ivy collection by Sweetwater for Moda. Only the red snowman print was a repeat from the stockings. The wonky gingham, the green snowmen, the green/white ornaments, the red evergreen sprigs, and the white evergreen springs were all new.
This so far has been a fun row-by-row monthly kit with cheery fabrics. I am enjoying assembling it. I am one third of the way there. Hmm... those pinwheels... It remains to be seen what I will do with them.
