I’m taking a short break from the commission art quilt I\u2019m working on (which I can\u2019t show yet, because it\u2019s going to be a surprise) to make some fun tree blocks for this month\u2019s VMQG block lotto<\/a>.\u00a0 The color scheme is modern bright prints with black & white prints.<\/p>\n

The tutorial for constructing the tree blocks was written by Amy at Diary of a Quilter.\u00a0 You can find the tutorial here<\/a>.\u00a0 This is a quick and easy block to make.<\/p>\n

This was a great opportunity for me to use some of the bright modern fabrics I bought in the summer at Quilt Canada.\u00a0 (One of the vendors had fat quarters on sale – 10 for the price of 9.\u00a0 I took that as a personal challenge to see if I could find 10 that I liked – which of course I did.)\u00a0\u00a0 I’m always collecting black & white prints, and the brown trunks came from my scrap bin.<\/p>\n

Here are my tree blocks:<\/p>\n
