This super cute and easy to make 3 fat quarter tree is perfect for any occasion. Learn how you can quickly fold the fabric to make the tree.
Oh, Christmas fat quarter tree—-how easy it is to make you….. hee hee {yes, you will be singing that for the rest of the day- thank me later}
What makes this project great is you can use any 3 fat quarters….to make a Christmas tree, or a haunted tree (think black, orange, purple) or whatever combination you choose.
I was able to pick some fun fabric from my stash, which worked out even better.
Fabric Christmas Tree
Materials needed:
4 fat quarters- 1 trunk and 3 for the tree
*they can be a mix of colors- don’t think they all need to be green for the tree. This is fun in bright fabric as well!
Repeat these steps with 3 of them the last one is for the trunk.

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!
