 Road To Oklahoma

  Turkey Red Navy Blue  - Tonal Floral - Quilt Blocks

 
 
HUGE 12 x 12

 
This is another FIRST.

 
I created the four-patch in the center, first; and then added the remaining linear sewn blocks.

 
For subsequent blocks, I have learned that it is easier to create TWO (4-patch) units, first

 Hand Appliqued  and Embellished

 Christmas Trees -  Quilt Blocks

 
 
Apprx. 11 1/4 x 9 1/2 inches each.


I enjoyed making these.
 
 
These were first hand-appliqued, and then top-stitched

 
The backs aren't messy at all.

 
The trees are embellished with buttons and red ribbons.

 
No two trees are alike.



 
Aren't these lovely?

 
 
Did the one above fall - over, or what??
 

 
Notice the variance in some of the background fabrics, as well.

 
Have trees, year-round !!!

 I hand - embroidered this beautiful little gem, myself.
