The #2 Pencil Tree Pattern by Lisa DeBord is an excellent pattern for the holiday season! Looking to downsize your Christmas tree? Make this pattern a wall hanging to pose as your Christmas tree with presents beneath. The branches, trunk, and background all finish to the same sized 4" blocks created with the Creative Grids Trim Tool making the final assembly a piece of cake. The 3" stars are made with the Creative Grids Strippy Star Tool, shaping floating points that will not get lost when adding a border of the background fabric.
