    Question Oh Christmas Tree! Dressed for the Holiday pattern by Karla Alexander

    I have a question if anyone has this pattern....what's the seam allowance on it? I was wondering if it's 1/4 or 1/2 inch.

    Thanks so much!!!!

    ​I have seen one and it was a rag quilt and the seam allowances were about 1/2 or what most rag quilt edges are. I've never made a rag quilt but YouTube has tutorials on them.

    I have just finished my first rag quilt and allowance was 1/2 inch. Anything less and you would not have the rag effect. Are you making it reversible? i do not have that pattern so I cannot tell.

    I have this pattern, the seam allowance is 1/2 in. It is a very easy pattern!

    I have this pattern and chose not to make a rag quilt. I made it with 1/4 inch seams as a conventional quilt. The size that was marked as a wall hanging ended up being the size of a lap quilt. I did not make it double sided. Just used Christmas fabric for backing. It's a cute pattern and not difficult. The most difficult part was cutting and appliqueing the bows for the presents.
