I worked on birch trees at Friday quilt group. Have you noticed how much faster a project goes when in the company of other quilters?
Since Linda and I are also working on our wedding ring quilts. Sue brought her Mother's double wedding ring quilt to share with us. It was spectacular. We are thinking the fabrics look more like the 40s and 50s. Sue remembers that her Mother didn't want to make the center white in case it would yellow, so she chose pink.
It's hand pieced and hand quilted. What a treasure.

ReplyDeletea treasure in that old quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour birch tree blocks are some of my favorites! I'm looking forward to seeing this one come together. I might have to try that block myself!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a plan yet for all your birch blocks? That's going to be a very fun quilt. That wedding ring quilt is beautiful. I like the idea of a pale background, it definitely sets off that purple really nicely.
ReplyDeleteI have often thought about making a birch tree quilt. Your different background colors look great. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteYour birch trees look so nice. I’ve been thinking of making some. What size are the blocks and the width of the trees? A great RSC18 project!
