I cut out the pieces and found a gold snowflake on one of the gold prints that made a fabulous tree topper. I had to use a really, really tiny blanket stitch to stitch around that snowflake, but it worked beautifully.
For the quilting I decided to stitch around all the leaves on the tree and then do a random feather all over the background fabric.
Here's the back. It was so much fun to make and I can't wait to put it on my table for Christmas!
I hope you get to quilt today!

Was there, per chance, a die cutter involved in this project?? I really like how the quilting is understated and echoes the applique. I do believe I need to do one of these!!!!!!!!! Your fabrics are perfect!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Accuquilt has a similar one, but this was from a little tree I ripped out of something sometime and had hanging on my design board.
DeleteGreat job. The design is really sweet.
ReplyDeleteAwesome design! I love the way the shapes of the tree pieces are the same kinds of shapes in quilted feathers. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this table runner! The tree makes me feel happy!!
