A CHRISTMAS RUNNER CHAPTER ONE



I saw this Christmas runner pattern on line and it just grabbed me right up.  I had to have it.  So ordered the pattern, waited for it to come in the mail, read the direction, and discovered I needed a triangle ruler.  I am a tool hoarder; I have lots of triangle rulers.  But not the right one for this pattern of course.
Amazon.com is the place to go.  It arrived in just two days.  So time to start.
OK, four blue 10 inch squares and four green.  Oh, short two greens fabrics.  
Cut 8 white 11inch squares and use the sides of the triangle for the sides of the green and blue triangle.  
  And another block being trimmed.
So stay tuned for continued chapters.  Still have to buy 2 more green fat quarters and finish the rest of the Blocks A and Blocks B for a total of 8 and start putting these wonky trees together.  The blocks are slight different in their cut sizes.

    OK, so you talked me into buying the pattern too! (It didn't take much!) Since I don't have that ruler, I've added it to my Christmas list. I'm looking forward to seeing how your runner turns out...looks great so far!

    That's so fun and totally worth buying the ruler. Not that we need much to convince ourselves, right? Now, to see if you'll find another use for it, that is the trick. It's a great pattern and so whimsical. You've done it proud!!

    This pattern is certainly making the rounds. At one of my quilty groups, a friend shared her Wonky Tree runner. It is such a cute pattern!

    Those wonky trees are the cutest ever and look like fun to make! I love the background fabric on the blue tree in the last photo.
