Spring is in the Air – 2016.02.19

The abstract art quilt of a Cherry Blossom tree that I started last week is finished.  It’s 18 x 36 inches, and I’m calling it ‘Spring is in the Air‘.

I quilted the horizontal lines of the background before fusing the leafy fabric and sewing on the tree and branches.

Then I fused the ‘blossoms’ and quilted them with a squarish pattern with pink thread.

This is the third in my series of Tree quilts.  Here they are all together hanging on my studio wall.

    It sure says Spring to me, what happy vibrant colors! Coincidentally I just finished a piece that is mainly green and pink, but so very different than yours. It’s on my blog.

    It certainly looks like Spring! Love the colors.

  11. Great series! I love Spring is in the Air! I love that it gives the illusion of spring flowers using simple squares because I hate having to deal with tiny fused pieces. Lovely!
