I guess I'm really early for next Christmas. I had this sitting out since about October and just now got it done. I got the pattern from my friend when she showed it in a quilt show and I admired it. I actually drew it out so I could figure out how to do it and she just gave me the instructions. Said she went to a class at her guild.
It is 3 dimensional. In looking at the picture, it seems my tree is listing to the right. Apparently I didn't keep things straight. haha hubby thinks that top point should be pointing up...he said it bugs him. I like that I had fabric with Christmas lights....now my tree has lights.
Here's a side view so you can see the points are just connected in the seam. It's a quilt as you go project. Once I started it, I finished it up in 2 evenings. It is 32x36"
I used a stripe for the back.
My friend sewed little jingle bells at the tip of the points. I'm not sure I will do that. Depending on what you use for the points will determine how wild your tree turns out.
