Quilting: Funky Christmas Tree

Funky Christmas Tree

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Design It, Quilt It: Free-Form Techniques »

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Classic


Materials

cotton fabric, poly batting

What was your inspiration?

I liked the simplicity of the tree design, it then gave me the opportunity to work with layering the quilting learnt in this course. I have also made another one but used straight line quilting - it's very much the modern style.

What are you most proud of?

Being able to modify the design as I went.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Think carefully as to what needs to pop out the most - I probably wouldn't quilt the tree so much, but then I was working backwards with this, and it is an example, so I'm not going to worry about it too much. I think it still looks good.

love the idea that the stencil/quilt pattern goes behind the tree.

Totally Wow. I have to go stare at it more. There is so much to discover. But I had to tell you how my eyes lit up when I saw it. You have just taken this class and run with it. Wow, just wow.

I love this... Especially how you split the design on the borders.
