Make a Christmas Tree Chevron Quilt with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star (Instructional Video)

Jenny Doan demonstrates how to make a cute, modern Christmas quilt using 10 inch squares of precut fabric (layer cakes). Jenny shows two different quilt block layouts, one with chevrons and one with pinwheels, and each requires only half a pack of 10 inch squares. That means you can make both quilts with one layer cake stack! This easy holiday project would be a fun Christmas wallhanging or holiday bedspread.

I made this quilt for my stepmom while she was in a skilled nursing facility in Nov and Dec 2018. I added tiny snaps all over the tree and made ornaments and a string of "lights" with snaps on them so that her 6-year-old grandchildren could help her decorate the tree when they visited her. The tree quilt itself is super easy to make - it took me about 4 hours to assemble and my LAQ had it quilted for me that same day. My stepmom was so happy to have a little Christmas in her room.

How sweet of you! It's a tragedy that anyone has to be in a NH but it can be bearable with a bit of kindness. Today you are my hero. Blessings!❤🙋

I love the quilt and I especially love reading the comment feed for such clever creativity! ❤️

[@jennydoan57]

Joanne Davison me too!! Comments are the best!!

[@beverlycook9697]

Jenny I love watching your videos. Please don’t stop making them

[@joyfulhope4474]

Both quilts are so nice but I am partial to pinwheels and even more partial to double pinwheels. You are the best Mrs. Jenny. Thank you

[@exlr8u]

Hello Miss Jenny, you are an amazing and inspirational person that I admire so much. Your talent and lovelyness has been a part of my life, I love your videos and love you, even though we have never met. Your videos have saved my life and I watch them when I feel down. Thank you so much for inspiring me to sew more and do what I love. You have saved my life. Thank You.

[@SomersetSewist]

Jenny, your charm brings me back, time and time again. X

[@LTMOM7926]

They're BOTH darling! Thank you so very much for all your kindness, Jenny and Co., I am so grateful for all of you!

[@janegirl33]

And you could make a wallhanging instead just by using a charm pack instead of a layer cake! So cute!!!

[@annajackson2239]

The chevron tree is great. The pinwheel tree is phenomenal! 🤗

[@sanhitadatta9447]

Love the pinwheel tree!!

[@jeanpurvis1620]

Very cute and easy - half square triangles so useful every Time! Liked the pinwheel option too! Thanks Jenny

[@laurieboyd614]

Refreshing and wonderfully different, of course my favorites are usually star quilts.

[@audrahart7493]

I could see this as a memory quilt. Give it as a gift and add an ornament each year.

[@lanaworkman2057]

Both trees are cute, but I love the pinwheel tree! Misty’s hair looks adorable like that!

[@NanaDianna]

I think I like the pinwheel better! Haha. I can see plain round ornaments too. I love it. Thank you!

[@msdreamz6068]

Love them both!

[@pamelacasey1699]

I love the Pinwheel Tree too!

[@angeliaakins8864]

O my I love them quiets and the green colors

[@juliannaburgess9177]

Omgosh! Nothing like making it difficult to choose. LOVE them both! I really like that this pattern has a more gradual tree design than the others that I've seen, they look tipsy. I'm going to tackle this one. Can I just come and live there among your material...it's SO beautiful.

[@progressmatters9782]

i LOVE this tutorial. hanging this up on the wall is a great way for people like me who have limited space and cats- who do not use a traditional christmas tree. it woud also be wonderful to use in a guest room for the holidays! while i was watching you i thought- how easy and CUTE would it be, to sew strategically placed button holes throughout the tree portion- so you could use a string of LED lights (which stay cool)- and poke the light portion from the back throught the buttonhole. plug it in and your tree lights up! also, i would have so much fun making some sewn ornaments that could easily be attached on the quilt with velcro (or safety pins). just pack it up in a vaccuum bag and bring it out every december. PS. I like both options- chevron and pinwheel. the pinwheel is superfun because you could make individual 1/2 square triangles and make it totally scrappy! i am going to try this idea and reduce the size of block to make a wall hanging. thank you, jenny! God bless

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We're so glad you enjoyed this tutorial, Wendy! We look forward to seeing your Christmas tree quilt creation!

[@jacquiemcglothlen6572]

Both are adorable

[@kathleenworkman5878]

LOVE this idea... It sure will help dress up the bedroom for the season when our guest come. THANKs Jenny for another cute Holiday idea. I ran out of people to make the Christmas boot for... Now something new!!.. Also going to try it with 2 1/2" blocks see I can get them small enough for table runner or place matt on the table. Love both the Chevron and Pinwheel

[@sheilaperl4155]

What a great tutorial!

[@sandracedar368]

Oh.my! I love both trees! I must make these 🤗🦩

[@patparson4013]

Jenny I love both trees. I just love each and everyone of your quilts. I’m looking forward to visiting your stores in the spring.Love you and MSQC.Thanks for all you do.

[@rachellepare]

I too like the pinwheel tree better. Like you I will probably do both one for me one for my daughter.

[@sewliloquies]

I also see this as a decoratable tree.... applique ornaments, presents at the bottom, etc... Thank you MSQC!

[@theresacraviotto588]

Also, one could number attached bags of ornaments and or treats to make it an Advent calendar.

[@loriar1027]

Wow! I really love the pinwheel tree!!

[@dorenenagy564]

[@grandmasheeshee9579]

How cute!

[@shellyboyle3185]

I didn't enjoy it... I LOVED IT!!!! What a fun projects! Gotta try this one!! I do have to say the Pinwheel version is my favorite!

[@WolfegirlStamps]

I’m so excited to try this! I just popped into your quilt shop on my way back from visiting my sister for thanksgiving, and I picked up this layer cake. I’m so stoked to know that I have enough to make TWO quilts!!!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Yay! Thank you for coming to see us! Have fun sewing up your two Christmas Tree quilts! :)

[@fisherlady408]

Presents underneath.

[@denisestilling2810]

So creative

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

[@robinhumtsman7884]

Thats an awesome idea too...

[@missnz00]

So beautiful ideas for quilting 😘🙏🎄🌲

[@bierjip1]

You could even applique coloured circles in the white squares to suggest baubles. The pinwheel version could also have hst in green and red or so. Very nice patterns!

[@suzyroy3360]

i love everything you do and you teach sooo perfectly you make it easy to understand. Thank you soo much for sharing. Much love from Québec xxxx

That's just so adorable, Jenny!! ❤️

[@marybuchholz6186]

Hope you and your family had a Happy Thanksgiving! Like the pinwheel tree better, but both are pretty.

[@terriewalt6832]

This is totally amazing!!! I love love LOVE this tutorial - Think I will use smaller blocks to make it more a wall hanging size! I think I like the pinwheel just a tiny bit better, (looks a little more complex), but I LOVE the both! Happy Holidays to you all!!

[@fritzsparky]

Thank you!

[@jenihansen7201]

JUST BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU.

[@mikesgracie5068]

Yay!!!! Thank you so much for doing a Christmas video!!!! I have missed these the last year or two from you guys!! :)

[@SmittenKitten.]

I hope everyone at MSQC had a fantastic Thanksgiving Day!! The day after Thanksgiving should be called "You'rewelcomesgivings Day," don't you think? I'm eternally thankful for you guys!

[@jennydoan57]

Looks like something fun to make. Than you Jenny!

[@kimbennett2369]

I like both

[@janukijaan7459]

Superb dear

[@laurarenda8383]

Wow, Mrs. JENNY this is amazing! I love it. I want to make both quilts.... I know this is a team effort and there are a few people involved in making these videos, but goodness y'all make my Friday mornings fabulous. These tutorials get the creative mind going, thank you ALL so much!! Happy Thanksgiving to all of MSQC! But especially you Jenny!!😉❤

[@terrinadeau8965]

The design would make a cute wall hanging.

[@angiehotchkiss8963]

I think this tree quilt would be cute with red circle appliqué for balls, and snowflake stars in the upper area where it is all white. I really like the swirl tree 😊

[@dll1793]

Amazing... I really enjoy it... love from Brazil

[@handmadebyMickie]

As always, love it!

[@denisestilling2810]

Timeless beauty

[@brendah4689]

Very pretty thank you!

[@SewMerri]

Oh gosh Jenny you amaze me every time!! Both are adorable!! I also see some snowflakes in the white space to add a little more pizzazz! Happy Thanksgiving to you and the whole crew at MSQC!! 🦃

[@NickyMercado]

I enjoyed it!

[@patwalcott7527]

Great tutorial, Jenny! As always, you give us very simple and easy instructions to follow. I love this quilt but would rather make it a smaller size for a wall hanging above my fireplace. I would appreciate any suggestions you can offer. Thanks!

[@mandamorris7934]

Squeeeee! Love it!!

[@Bmon-js2lk]

🌸Adorable 💕🌸🥰

[@sparkywinston]

Very cute

[@godsspecialchild86]

Adorable green tree! Instead of chevron block in the the second row (of the chevron) could be just the same fabric, but as a 4 1/2 square, so its more "full looking" instead of the white space.

[@jennydoan57]

Several people have asked about the machine I am using. To sew anything I make, you just need a machine that runs, I sew on a variety of machines. The Eversewn is a good little workhorse, but my baby locks haven’t been forgotten!!!

[@MawPawsarksanctuary]

i like the star quilts too

[@aliciapeacock4662]

Ooh I can see the appliqué lightbulbs and raise you with pressie blocks on the bottom row!
