6 geese a laying

The great thing about having squares already cut is that you can use them right away.

I saw a mugrug on kevin the quilters blog

Years ago

But what if?

What if instead of 1 1/2 inch squares I use 2 1/2 inch squares?

Hmmmm

How big will it be?

What can  I make?

Well........

Gather or cut fifteen green 2 1/2 squares

And one brown one.

Then sew 2 together

3 together

4 together

And 5 together for the tree section.

Out of backgound cut 2 1/2 inch strips

Subcut into 4 pcs 2 1/2 x 18 1/2
4 pcs 8 1/2
2 pcs ea of  7 1/2
6 1/2
5 1/2
And 4 1/2

Put the largest ones aside for now. Sew the row of 5 green with the 4 1/2 backround to each end

Sew the 4 green to the  5.5 backgrounds

The 3 green to the  6.5 backgrounds

The 2 green to the  7.5 backgrounds

And the single brown. And the single green each with the pair of 8.5 backgrounds

Sew the rows to make the tree.
Add the 2  largest ones to both top and 2 to the bottom and you have a table topper

Get a backing.....batting....quilt it....bind it....

Another cute holiday gift....a tree table topper

You could fussy cut squares with ornaments among the greens...
A star for the top
 Do a silver one on a blue background

Anything goes.
Have fun..........

Mine isnt quilted yet. Giving my eye a little rest

Hmmm.......what can I make next for the gift box??????
Stay tuned
