It’s done! (Well, except for hand stitching the facing to the back, and adding a sleeve and label – the boring parts.) And, it finally has a title – Even Trees Get the Blues (thanks to my sister Anne for this creative idea). The finished size is 48.5 x 48 inches.
As usual, I was a bit nervous about the free motion quilting, but once I started, I was happy with the results. I did un-stitch some of the rolling hills and restitched them because I wasn’t happy with my first attempt. I used a loose loopy shell stitch on the tree foliage, and I’m really happy with how it looks. On the bottom section, I stitched around the leaf shapes and extended the leaf pattern into the mottled fabric.
That came out so beautiful Terry! I especially love the you followed some of the leaf patterns. I love leaves!
Gorgeous, Terry. I love your quiltin designs!
It’s actually a happy quilt, even if the tree has the blues!! Love it!
