I've had a couple of remnants (I love remnants) sitting around in my way so decided to try my hand at making some trees so I wouldn't have to decide which crate to throw these remnants into ....birds? fall? fabrics with writing? grays? neutrals? chunks?
I'm thankful for people who post tutorials since I'm not good at that. (I guess because I never really know what I'm doing).
I've had this improv tree tutorial bookmarked to make some day. Some day has arrived.
Thank you Pinkadot Quilts! These were fun.
I think I have more remnants in my way too. I see a UFO (slow moving quilt) of these in my future. I may even add a few applique leaves here and there. Or I might add some of that low hanging fruit I hear so much about (and have evidently never picked).
These blocks look great! I love the background fabric you used. It's perfect for these.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use up those neutral remnants. My problem is there are never enough neutrals hanging around, unlike the rest of the scraps that multiply in the night, the neutrals flee at the slightest provocation!
ReplyDeleteI've got that same tutorial bookmarked! Someday...
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your future forest!
They look great, Cathy! I have to try this someday too. :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tree blocks, thanks for post the link to the tutorial. These are going on my project list for next year - definitely!
ReplyDeleteSuper blocks, Cathy! You clearly have a great eye for collecting interesting neutrals.
ReplyDeleteI'm printing out that tree tutorial because I really want to try to make these, too. Thanks for sharing the link!
Awesome backgrounds and fun trees. This could become a most interesting quilt top!
ReplyDeleteFun blocks, I'm looking forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteThis looks interesting - and I like the idea of using your bird fabrics as backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteAwesome trees! You must have worked hard to get the directional fabrics correct!!!
ReplyDeleteYour trees turned out great! I am hoping to post some smaller ones later today. Stop by to check them out.
