I
started this quilt in December using a tutorial by Amy Smart. I purchased some extra Christmas fabrics from sewhot.co.uk.
I love the mauve feathers. I
initially thought that I would make a square quilt.
However I changed my mind to
make a rectangular lap quilt. A bit of moving blocks around my design wall, I
made one more block and it was soon together.
Distributing the red blocks
around the quilt was challenging and I ended up with two adjacent red trees. I
then quilted it using a trees pantograph from Anne Bright.
I like the the mix of fabrics by
different designers including Me and My Sister, Tula Pink, Aneela Hoey, Cotton
& Steel and more. I then machined down a red stripey binding for another
finished project in 2019. I am pleased with this quick
finish, however I seem to have cut every tree the same, so much for being
improv.
The backing was a piece from
stash designed by Eleanor Burns. There's just enough left to back one further
small project.
