My month is coming up for Another Quilting Bee 1, and last night, Sarah, came over and helped me figure out what to do for my quilt. I have all these orangey fabrics that I want to use, and I had thought of requesting long tall stacks that would resemble trees (kinda like this), but I couldn’t figure out the logistics.
But then, Sarah suggested that if I want trees, to just ask for trees. Now, I’ve got this quilt in mind. Each person will make a tree and I’ll put them together on a white background. I’m a little unsure how the trunks will work, so if you have any suggestions on how to make it easier, let me know.
If you remember my quilt for Sew Connected 3, I haven’t finished it yet. I get all caught up in my other activities, and never put aside enough time to quilt. And since each block is so different, I have no idea on how I will quilt it.
What kind of winter craftiness have you been up to?

we cut open our pumpkin today and we are currently washing all the pumpkin seeds. I want to make a frame out of them. Connor was scared of sticking her fingers anywhere near the pumpkin part, but she loves stirring the seeds in the water to wash them! see you soon.

I am just working on Christmas gifts and my camping quilt. Not sure how to quilt that one either. Love your fabrics for the tree quilt. It will looks soooo wonderful. I can’t to see the blocks start coming in. By the way….. how is your foot doing?

Those trees look like they’d lend themselves to paper piecing, which might solve the trunk dilemma.
I’m working on a Christmas gift quilt that includes circles. Conquering my fear of circular piecing one hour at a time. Seriously, it takes me an hour to put together a half circle block…

Great fabrics but i think you need to focus on one or too more in blue/purple to balance it out.
In Raleigh you can visit Wish Up on a Quilt if you have time.Lots of novelty fabrics.
