Would you like a quickie tutorial? Wanna learn how to make your own fat quarter tree?

Materials needed: 4 fat quarters
Repeat these steps with 3 of them the last one is for the trunk.
fold the fat quarter in half the LONG way. fold is at the top
fold in half again. fold is at the top.
turn up the bottom left corner a bit past half way. fold is still at the top.
take that left side and fold it down to meet the bottom edge.
fold it up to meet the top edge.
continue with folding and meeting the edges–yes, it is a flag fold. you are left with a little bit on the end.
fold this end inside –tuck, tuck
repeat it till all 3 are done. Now, tuck one inside the other. see that?
with the last fat quarter—fold in in half and half again and then roll it up. Tuck it inside the bottom of the tree and tada!

Your fat 1/4 Christmas tree is just downright clever! Thanks so much for the tutorial…bet there will be so many Christmas trees popping up at quilting get togethers this year!
Very cute. What a great way to give a few as a gift.
Awesome–will you show the tree on the 18th to Main Street? I love it and so will the other ladies!! You always amaze me. Julie

I love that all you do is fold the material – not sew it!!! The material can be used after Christmas is over. I featured this at somedaycrafts.blogspot.com
i would love to pass it along! that is what i do
it is perfect to dress up any kind of fabric gift. thanks for the links too!
You could also use the fat quarter tree for candy corn but leave out the tree trunk.
May I ask a dumb question, as I don’t do much quilting? What is a “quarter” and how big is it? I love Christmas trees and have dozens I use to decorate my home for the holidays. Love the easy to follow directions!! Thank you!
Fat quarters are usually 18″ X 20″ almost square, but not quite. Have fun!
