I’m making progress on my ‘Wildfire’ tree quilt.<\/p>\n

Last week<\/a> I had sewn all of the background fire fabrics in place, except one.\u00a0 I decided to take Janet’s advice and use the smoky gray-pink fabric.<\/p>\n

Now I’m adding the smaller flames.\u00a0 I’m cutting the flames freehand, using my rotary cutter to cut curvy shapes.\u00a0 I’m continuing to sew the flames without fusing them first – just pinning them in place, then straight-stitching close to the edges.\u00a0 So far it seems to be working just fine, and if some of the edges fray a little, it will just look like fire sparks.<\/p>\n

In the photo below, the ground and the tree are pinned in place.\u00a0 I’m going to add lots more flames.\u00a0 Then I’ll stitch the ground and tree in place, and probably add a few more flames in front of the tree.\u00a0 I’m not sure if I’m going to add any more background trees like I had in one of the photos last week.<\/p>\n
