I can post my 2nd tree quilt of the season, since my daughter and son-in-law received and opened it today! I wanted to do a different look for this one using the same pieced trees as in the one I posted earlier this month in These Trees are Off the Wall!
This quilt is more modern, I think, with the wide stripes, no border, and edge-to-edge machine quilting (free-handed waves done while using the Brother Dream Machine's Muvit walking foot). This was a much faster quilting technique than hooping and quilting with embroidery designs, and I think it's just as attractive, just different. I love it.
Most quilters run their quilting lines much closer together. But as long as I knew I was within the spacing specifications required by the batting I used, I decided to invoke artistic license. I felt these wider lines were in keeping with the scale of the overall design.
