Into the forest

Last week when I showed the tree I had made and said I was cutting squares and circles while I watched TV, Lisa commented that if I watch enough TV I could end up with a forest! Exactly what I am going for. Here's a little progress sneak peek.

Tree tops:


Have you ever seen a chartreuse sky? I have chartreuse on the brain. It works as a sky for me.

Tree bottoms:


The top is together. Next will come the quilting, which, I hope, will change it all quite a lot. New territory. This is kind of a new direction for me, closely related to the chartreuse quilt in my title bar above.  I am itching to get to the quilting part. I kind of feel like that crazy detailed stitching is my "new thing."

  1. hand or machine stitching I'm wondering. When we see a chartreuse sky here in GA it's time to get into the cellar!

  4. This looks so fun -- can't wait to see it finished! I'm guessing the stitching part is addictive, too.
