Retro Visions
September is a busy time of changes, whether you are going back to school or back to work after summer off, or harvesting and preserving and moving the beauty of a garden into the pantry. Our local quilt guild takes the summer off and now is gearing up for the annual quilt auction ~ our big fund raiser for community benefits and our spring retreat. My UFO for this month is a set of batik paper pieced pine trees, made by guild members at last April's retreat. They need to be made into a table runner or wall hanging for the auction. It will probably take a day to complete this little project, if I skip the avoiding and staring dreamily and just get 'er done. Here are the trees:
One thing I have learned about paper pieced blocks: don't remove the paper until they are sewn to their lattices or adjoining blocks. They have lines that make joining super simple.

These are some of the nicest pine trees I've seen. Very fun! They will become a beautiful runner or wall hanging. I hope you'll post a photo when you've finished.
ReplyDeleteI love your trees! You did a really nice job with your paper piecing. I am still practicing that skill.
