The first quilt of my new tree series<\/a> is finished.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, the theme for the first challenge of season 6 season at Project Quilting<\/a> is – Trees!\u00a0 So I’m entering this quilt in this week’s challenge.\u00a0 I’m creating in New Westminster, BC, Canada.<\/p>\n

I used a variety of black & white fabrics for the background.\u00a0 I thought the dark fabric at the top looked like abstract leaves.\u00a0 Then when I was looking for a dark fabric for the bottom, I decided it also looked like roots – so I used it there too.\u00a0 I pieced the background, then layered it and quilted it with a loose grid pattern.\u00a0 The horizontal quilting lines are about 2 inches apart, and the vertical lines are 2.5 to 3 inches apart.\u00a0 I didn’t worry about making them absolutely straight, in keeping with the abstract concept of the quilt.<\/p>\n

\"Background<\/a>\u00a0 \"Trees<\/a><\/p>\n

I cut the tree shapes from freezer paper and pressed them to the back of the multicolored fabric.\u00a0 I cut the tree shapes with seam allowances, which I pressed to the back.\u00a0 I lined the tree shapes with a layer of very thin batting – which added some dimension and ensured the black and white background wouldn’t show through.\u00a0 I appliqued the trees to the quilted background with black thread stitched along the edges.<\/p>\n

It finished at 16 x 36 inches.\u00a0 I’m calling it ‘Exuberant Trees’.<\/p>\n
