Keeping in mind the size of quilt block you want to make, find (or draw) a triangle shape that would fit well within that size of block.

[{"selector":"#anim-403b1589-92ac-4f85-951a-7d50d94c1916","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-28eb4f32-35da-43a9-82a3-38766af441f6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-229dba24-d054-471f-87ea-11107c54a539","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6070b53a-84f7-4695-b303-7f7b574e3ef5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.66455%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

I made these tree blocks using two different methods for the main body of the tree itself.

[{"selector":"#anim-c5ba6e21-c028-4a2b-a8b1-15d42db34250","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-91f02a13-0105-4f7a-ac2b-fa3af4fc7674","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-47730ad5-df88-4e13-90a0-e25aabc1d1c2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f534dfeb-fe08-4a34-a55b-338d1d1dfa7f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.21015%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

If you are using an existing crumb block you can skip this step. Start with an off-kilter-looking triangle to be the top of your tree.

[{"selector":"#anim-d1fdf825-96e6-414b-8029-00c7aafa5050","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a00deb37-0b84-4078-9a49-6cea303f7e8e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Once you have either a crumb block in green or a slab of green and red stripey pieced fabric you are ready to cut out your tree.

[{"selector":"#anim-35f0fa23-1db9-4ce7-85ca-8c8b551b6d6a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-789ee0a6-be8d-43d0-9f8e-fa475a5fe0a3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Choose a piece of background fabric to add to your tree piece.
