The working title of my latest Tree quilt is ‘Wildfire’.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve made a lot of progress on it.\u00a0 I decided I was happy with the fabrics I showed in my last post, so I started cutting the background fabrics into flame shapes where they overlapped.\u00a0\u00a0 Then I positioned the tree and some of the additional flame shapes to make sure all the colors worked together.\u00a0 The only fabric I’m not sure about is the pinky-purple one just below the purple sky fabric.\u00a0 I may decide to change that one.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My standard method for joining the fabrics would be to use fusible web.\u00a0 Since most of these fabrics are batiks, and therefore not subject to fraying, I decided to just cut them into the flames shapes, then stitch the edges.\u00a0 (At this point, I’ve layered the back and batting, and I’m stitching through all the layers.) \u00a0 I just pinned the flame shapes in place – no fusing or glue.\u00a0 I figured since I will be adding additional flames later, I could cover up any mistakes.\u00a0 But actually, it worked pretty well – and saved a lot of time.\u00a0 I used this neon variegated rayon thread to edge stitch the flames.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, I’m debating about that second from the top fabric.\u00a0 In the first photo below, I have 3 possible fabrics, with the original pinky-purple one in the middle.\u00a0 While I was looking through my stash to see if I had any other possible fabrics, I found the striped fabric.\u00a0 The colors are good, and it would make the whole composition more abstract, but I don’t think it’s right.\u00a0 At this point, I’m just dithering, so I’m going to stop now, and decide later which fabric to use.<\/p>\n
