Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Romantic, Classic, Whimsical, Funky, Mod, Casual, Outdoorsy, Eco-Friendly, Cute, Traditional


Materials

Cotton fabrics, scraps, etc

What was your inspiration?

Baskets full of scraps! I have too many scraps and I feel like I can get buried in them, lol!

What are you most proud of?

The way the whole quilt top came together with the combination of string piecing and appliqued tree trunks.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Start with the string pieced background. I sewed strips to 4 inch squares of foundation. Then I trimmed them up, removed the foundation and used my fold and sew technique using a tear away foundation to piece. Once the top was done, I added the tree trunks and branches.

The combination of a traditional pattern in the backround and the trees in the front is such a great iidea! Congratulations and thank you for sharing.

This is so beautiful Cathy, outstanding. String blocks are such fun to do, I have made some cushions with different variations of them.
