Wonka Forest

This is a small quilt I created in an afternoon last summer. (I really need to get my camera and take better pictures of it.)


I needed a quick office decoration so it had to be reasonably sized and it had to be cheerful. This was an experiment in applique. The trees are cut freehand, then turned and machine stitched down. The binding was a pain (especially since I usually do continuous cut bias binding), but I have to admit, I really like the effect.


I then did some echo quilting around the outside of the trees and trunks and some shape quilting on the inside of the trees.

This piece was inspired by this one by -syko-
