Today is the start of our
Forest Quilt-a-Long!
I hope you're all excited and ready to GO!
Forest Art Quilt - 38 x 52" (130 x 90 cm) Easy Intermediate Level
Week 1:
I've decided that I'm not going to make myself crazy with all the different colours that could be used.
Im only making marks on my pattern pieces to show where I want a dark green fabric. The rest is up to whatever my hand grabs out of the "Green bin".
You are welcome to change your Forest into an Autumn/Fall scene or even done in blues to look more Wintery...
Up to you...
Another thing - this is an Art Quilt - some of the triangles are not the same size as the triangles next to them - all good!
I hope you have fun with this Quilt a Long!
Our first week pattern pieces are not very hard to put together.
You will need to join the pieces together - I use sellotape - it works well.
The paper I use is also just photocopy paper - but feel free to use whatever you have. Eventually we will be tearing it off the back and throwing it out.
Leave the paper on your pieces for now - don't tear it off yet. you need the seam lines when sewing the different week pieces together.
* If you would still like to join us in this 12 week
(one piece a week- not hard) Art Quilt then go to the
INFO page. All are still welcome!
That's it for this week
Really not even breaking a sweat!
Have a great day!

What a great design. It's so very intricate! I can't wait to see what it looks like in fabric. I love all the critters hiding in the trees.
