Holiday Pines Quilt

... as a Quilter
It's tempting to just slap a gray border on this improvisational quilt and call it ready to quilt.  But wait ... I think it's better to take elements from the center of the quilt and place them in the borders. So, it will take a little more time now to complete.

I started out by making pine tree blocks ...

... in holiday colors. 

Then I laid the blocks out in a pleasing arrangement and added sashing with smaller pine trees inserted randomly.

I trimmed here and there as I went so I could sew a straight line.


Life ...
Boys will be boys.

Julia,
I love your work!! I live in Indiana and wondered if you would ever come this far to teach our guild here? If not, is there some where that you would consider doing some classes that we could possibly travel to? What would be your fee and what other requirements would you have? Please e-mail me at
judyk2310@yahoo.com
Thanks

Your color placement beneath each tree is beautiful! I love the nighttime backdrop. If you could ever turn this into a pattern, I'd love to make it. I found you through Freemotion by the River.
