You're a no-reply blogger so I can't send this via email :(<br /><br />I strip-pieced a rectangle [sort of, some of the top strips were smaller] and then just cut it to be the side and angles that I wanted. I knew I wanted a 16" finished pillow cover, so I left enough room at the top and bottom to add white and the appliqued star, and then added the white on the sides as well. <br /><br />But if you want more direction than that, I know that Kati has a tutorial on a similar pillow at http://www.fromthebluechair.com/2010/12/tree-pillow-pointers.html although I didn't use that for mine.Sew Festivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10191197877691355031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401629941608199941.post-68674449890847268572012-10-23T09:25:07.502-05:002012-10-23T09:25:07.502-05:00Love that patchy striped Christmas tree on its sid...Love that patchy striped Christmas tree on its side up there.....is there a pattern or tutorial? -Looks like strip piecing but i had to ask !

Every year around October I have grand ambitions to make Christmas decorations for myself but every year they get pushed aside in favor of making gifts. This year I bought my fabric early (like in February) and I had planned on doing my own "Christmas in July" where I'd finally sit down and do it. Now that I found your blog it will be awesome to have some inspiration to push me into doing it. Yay Christmas in July!Stephanie Granitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986639170677180277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401629941608199941.post-45318211089193268912012-06-10T17:50:39.788-05:002012-06-10T17:50:39.788-05:00This is an inspired idea!
