Default Christmas Tree Orphan Blocks Made into Quilt Top

Hi,

I've been going through all my orphan quilt blocks I've inherited. There were a LOT! I've gotten at least 5 tops made not counting this last one...Christmas in July! I can't remember where I got the blocks but decided to use some stripped fabric I had gotten for another project I never did and here is the quilt top result...I'm not adding another border but will use the binding as the border instead. It's just small enough now that I can use 1 width of fabric for the backing and not have to piece. Not sure if it'll be a gift or a keeper!

Great use of orphan blocks! Your Christmas quilt is adorable. Love that you won't have to piece the backing! Thanks for sharing your quilt with us.

​Very cute! I might use it for a Chritmas wall hanging.
