I'm referring to the tree blocks I have stitched using Julianna's fantastic paper piecing pattern from her Last Minute Christmas Sampler QAL. I've been totally smitten with making trees using her fun pattern!
Somewhere along the way, I decided that I wanted a good mix of colour in all of my blocks, which meant I needed to do a bit of "editing" to make sure to include blue, green and pink or purple in each block.
Since my first two blocks mostly featured green trees, I removed one tree from each of those blocks to mix in with two new trees.

| This block was one that I "edited". I removed the original tree (from the far left) and added it to the block shown in the second picture in this post. |
The result? Some wild coloured trees!
Trees that are anything but traditional. ;o)
 |
| This is the second block I edited by removing the tree on the far left and replacing with one in different colours. Still not sure if I will keep the replacement tree or try another fabric for it. ;o) |
Now I need to decide if I will be sewing these together to make a fun finish on their own... or if I will be adding in some of Julianna's other QAL designs.
This is a real forest! And so fun and interesting at the same time. I can imagine a table runner or something else made only with these lovely trees. Or mixed them with something else. Whatever you decide, I'm sure it will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what I wanted to do with this pattern-make a whole forest! Yours are really gorgeous- the colour palette is fresh and modern!
ReplyDeleteI would love to take a walk in this bright, happy forest! Makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteYour trees are so cute. I really like your fun colors. Can't wait to see how they all grow in the forest together.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a forest, and a very pretty one at that
ReplyDeleteWonderful!!! It could be funny Christmas quilt too :)

It's definitely looking like a forest - I think it needs a flying reindeer (or 9!) to complete it! I'm sure the "editing" was a royal PITA (the worst kind of froggy stitching around because of the tiny stitch length!) but the trees look fantastic in the colours - good choice :D
ReplyDeleteI can see the forest through the trees here. I think this would be neat with the blocks together maybe with some additional blocks done in reverse to mix it up a little. Love the colors you picked, it's quite the party forest that way!
ReplyDeleteYou always have such a gift for picking colors and prints. The background works perfectly against the fun bright tree colors!
ReplyDeleteWell now, that's certainly going to be a tree-t! Wonderful@
ReplyDeleteHappy sewing... Happy Sunday...
