Christmas Quiltalong Post 7

Are you ready to switch the sewing machine off yet?  If so, go and make a coffee and then come back here for a little quiz.

This time, the prize is being donated by SewCalGal, and is this wonderful pattern, together with buttons that will just finish the quilt off wonderfully. In case any of you haven't seen her blog, it is here, and SewCalGal always has the most interesting posts where she shares her insights on all sorts of quilty topics.  She also runs online quilt shows, such as the christmas ones and there you can win great prizes.  Last year, she even gave extra chances to win to those Christmas Quiltalongers who entered, and I'm hoping she might do the same again this year.  Anyway, she has kindly sponsored this quiz, so thank you SewCalGal for doing this.

Anyway, here is today's quiz.  It's all on the subject of Christmas trees.
