I finally have pictures of the completed quilt I made for my friend Gale. I loved making this project, the photos are all before washing, and in its new home. I added an additional border on this project to make it a tad larger.
I used a varigated thread as I stitched around the branch with a machine blanket stitch. I love how the varigation added dimension to the branches.
I backed the quilt with off white muslin. I contemplated long and hard about the back couldnt make up my mind ultimately I went with the muslin(safe). I think if I looked at this everyday, I would really have regretted this choice. Its funny I choose "safe" for the backing... the quilt is anything but "safe"! Overall I am quite pleased with the final product.
