Oh but I CAN see the forest for the trees!
I’ve wanted to make a little forest of trees for some time now. Checking that off my list. And it is a ‘little’ forest.
When all sewn together, each tree block measures just about 3.25” X 2.25”.
I wanted a selvedge border so I dug around in my selvedges tote for neutral selvedges.
Then the little wallhanging stalled while I figured out how to stitch the selvedges for an inner border. Of course I eventually figured it out.
Simple in the ditch quilting.
It was finally finished. I’m SO pleased.
I tried out a couple of tree sizes before deciding. The tiniest one turned into a cutie pie of a pincushion.

The block was SO TINY it didn’t look fun to sew so I added a bit of a border. It was still so little. But so cute.
I now have a very small collection of four little pinnies in my pinnie jar.
I actually use the skeleton one so it doesn’t really live in the jar.
I like that the little trees quilt can be hung for me to enjoy at any time of the year. Right now it might be a Christmas tree farm. Later a forest.
