Lots of progress on the blue tree quilt since my last post.
I have most of the foliage cut and pinned to the pattern on the design wall. I still think it looks fine with just the one fabric for the foliage (although I have used 4 different yellow fabrics for the sky and 3 chartreuse fabrics for the trunk and branches). I’ve pinned up a few triangles of yellow for sky showing through the foliage.
I’m continuing to gather fabrics for the background and foreground. As soon as I have all the fabric for the top part cut and pinned, I’ll start auditioning fabrics for the bottom.
I’m starting to think about a title for this quilt. So far I’ve come up with:
- Blue Tree (not very imaginative!)
- Sunshine on a Blue Tree
- Blue Tree on a Sunny Day
- What Season is This?
I’d love to hear some suggestions for quilt titles!
I really like how it’s coming together! I agree that one fabric gives lots of interest in the tree foliage because of the variation of values in the print.
