Merry Little Tree Coasters: A Festive Foundation Paper Piecing Project for Christmas

Looking for a quick and cheerful Christmas sewing project? The Merry Little Tree Coasters are a delightful way to add handmade holiday charm to your home while making good use of your favourite fabric scraps.

Featuring four different foundation paper pieced Christmas tree designs, these festive coasters are set on point for a fresh, modern look that stands out on any holiday table. Whether you’re enjoying a morning coffee, sipping hot chocolate by the Christmas tree, or sharing a glass of wine with friends, these little coasters bring a touch of seasonal joy to every moment.

A Fun Project for the Holiday Season

One of the things I love most about the Merry Little Tree Coasters is how versatile they are. Stitch them in traditional Christmas reds and greens for a classic look, choose winter whites and silver tones for a more elegant feel, or create a colourful collection using your favourite festive prints.

Because the blocks are small, they’re perfect for using treasured fabric scraps that have been waiting for the right project. It’s amazing how a handful of colourful pieces can come together to create a charming forest of Christmas trees.

Perfect for Gifts and Holiday Entertaining

Handmade gifts are always special, and these coasters sew up quickly enough to make several sets for family and friends. They make thoughtful hostess gifts, stocking fillers, teacher gifts, or a lovely addition to a festive gift basket.

Display them alongside mugs of hot chocolate at a Christmas gathering, use them on your coffee table throughout the holiday season, or add them to your Christmas table setting for an extra handmade touch.

Enjoy Foundation Paper Piecing

The Merry Little Tree Coasters pattern is suitable for quilters who have some foundation paper piecing experience. The technique allows you to create crisp points and precise tree shapes, resulting in professional-looking coasters that are both practical and decorative.

Finished coasters measure 5″ x 5″, making them the perfect size for mugs, cups, glasses, and festive drinks.
