Tree quilt – chapter 2

Lots of progress on the blue tree quilt since my last post.

I have most of the foliage cut and pinned to the pattern on the design wall.  I still think it looks fine with just the one fabric for the foliage (although I have used 4 different yellow fabrics for the sky and 3 chartreuse fabrics for the trunk and branches).  I’ve pinned up a few triangles of yellow for sky showing through the foliage.

I’m continuing to gather fabrics for the background and foreground.  As soon as I have all the fabric for the top part cut and pinned, I’ll start auditioning fabrics for the bottom.

I’m starting to think about a title for this quilt.  So far I’ve come up with:

  • Blue Tree (not very imaginative!)
  • Sunshine on a Blue Tree
  • Blue Tree on a Sunny Day
  • What Season is This?

I’d love to hear some suggestions for quilt titles!

    I really like how it’s coming together! I agree that one fabric gives lots of interest in the tree foliage because of the variation of values in the print.
