I got my Indonesian Batik trees fused last night so I'm ready to start quilting. I cut tons of circles in 5 different sizes. I also decided to cut out the tree trunks instead of painting them. Why did I choose an applique tree over a stenciled tree? It was cold in the basement and I didn't want to go down there to play with paint. I could cut out tree trunks from the comfort of my recliner while watching a football game. That's it, that's how I made that design decision. So these photos show how I built the tree starting with the biggest circles to the smallest. Hopefully I'll get to start quilting this evening.      Fuse it!
Next! I'll look at them again today before I load them on the longarm to see if I need to add more to any of them. I'm determined to do some fast quilting on these.

I still envision this as a full-sized quilt - bigger circles of course. Looks lovely as a placemat, but I want more!!

The fabric you used for the trunks is perfect! Those placemats are going to be too pretty to use! I received my postcard - thank you so much! It is so pretty. I posted about it on my blog today. 12/20/2018 08:24:41 am
I love these. The background fabric is perfect. (and I totally "get it" about the design decision.)
