Turn a Vintage Quilt into fabric Christmas Tree Décor

I have had a quilt on my bed for years and years that has held up to 3 babies. Unfortunately it was not able to hold up to a high energy puppy that gets the zoomies. The first few tears on the quilt I was able to repair, but when the tears were tearing and I had to retire my beloved quilt.
As I stared longingly at my beloved TORN quilt sitting in my blanket basket, I decided to try to find a way to use it.
How to Make a Christmas Tree from a Quilt
Supplies Needed
Use a quilting ruler, draw a triangle (or tree shape) with erasable fabric ink, on a doubled up piece of the quilt. Cut along the lines with sharp fabric scissors.
Sew along the edges with a sewing machine, or hand sew with a running stitch. Make sure to leave the bottom of the tree open.
Stuff the center of the tree with poly fil and place a dowel inside. Hot glue the opening closed around the dowel.
You can paint or decoupage paper onto the block or wooden circle.
I had this piece of wood in my stash, so I drilled 3 holes to fit 3 dowels. I love this cute little tree stand! And I love that it reminds me of the quilt that sat on my bed for years!
