This is our final block of the Stars Over Omaha BOM. We hope you've enjoyed making these stars through out the year. Special thanks to Lynn Poly for curating these blocks and making very detailed instructions for us.

Once you have completed all of your blocks you are free to assemble them however you like. Add sashing, add more blocks, sew them together and add a border, whatever your heart desires!

We'd love to see them as you finish them. If you share on Instagram please tag us @omahamqg or #omqg23bom.

Thank you sew much for sewing along with us this year!

Patchwork Tree Block

For our December Block Lotto we will be doing the Patchwork Tree Block by Diary of a Quilter!

Fabrics - 

Trees and background should be a mix of low volumes, greens and pinky reds. 

Trunk - shades of brown

• Instructions have you make two blocks at a time!  You will get the reverse colorway.  
• Try different angles on top for different sized trees!

**We doubled the measurements for the Tree block so that we would have 8x10.5 unfinished block size.

Changes are as follows:

   (for 2 blocks as per the instructions for the tutorial link below)

   2 contrasting squares 9x9

   2 squares  4x3 of one fabric

   2 square 4x3 of second contrasting fabric

   2 trunks 2x3 of brown

unfinished block  will be 8.5x11 and trim to 8x10.5
