The Happy Christmas Tree Album Cover- A Free Quilt Pattern In 12 Parts

Free Quilt Pattern-Happy Christmas Tree Album Cover

Each part will include the patterns, fun and simple techniques and photo steps that take just a little time. So, have fun with the Twelve Days of Havel’s Holiday Project!

This free quilt pattern finishes at approximately 13″ square. So, my album cover has finished measurements to fit an album 14″ to 16″. The size of the border can be measured to fit your album.

The bookmark is a very simple project with lots of pizzazz!

You Will Need:
A photo album at least 14″ square in size

Fabric:
● Scraps of cotton in Orange (about five different prints for the background, spine label, back label and bookmark), Green (for the presents and bookmark stars), Purple (for the tree trunk), Bright blue (for the tree) **Please note that you should use any colors of fabric that you choose!
● 13 inch square of fabric for the back of cover
● 1/2″ yard of bright blue batik fabric for borders
● 1/2 yard of lining fabric – I used a polyester taffeta – it is light weight and doesn’t add bulk to the finished album cover
● A 10″ square of yellow felt
● A 10″ square of fancy novelty tulle

Adhesives:
● Two pieces of medium weight fusible interfacing
● A yard of fusible web (one of your choosing and be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions)
● Fabric or Craft glue
● Spray adhesive

Threads:
● Decorative cotton and rayon threads for the decorative stitching on the orange background in Orange, Pink, Warm Yellow and multi-colors and Dual Duty thread for bobbin in warm yellow
● Blue variegated cotton thread for buttonhole stitches on the tree
● Purple variegated cotton thread for buttonhole stitches on the tree trunk
● Purple rayon thread to stitch the garland onto the tree
● Two yards of purple metallic ribbon yarn for the tree garland and the bookmark strings
● Multi-color pearl cotton yarn for the ornament hangers

Embellishments:
● 12 inches of red rick rack
