I had a bit of a size issue when assembling it.
Oops! Once for a swap I always regretted sending my humble little quilt with funky unmatching seams so I knew I would keep this one.
I changed patterns and this one added a little triangle at the base of the tree. It was kind of confusing so I machine appliqued it down.
But I think it turned out really cute.
Fun memories with a new friend.
If you have your eagle block done and do not have a blog please send me a photo and I'll post Sept 1, which is Monday. Let's go ladies!!
Have an awesome weekend!
Really cute Lori ....what a nice thing to do to remember a happy memory!
ReplyDeletethis was so nice of you to do that, both of you will smile when you look at these little quilts.
ReplyDeleteA tree of life quilt is on my must make someday! love the fabric choice btw!

What a great memory for a hiking tour, bet you saw a lot of trees on your trip.
ReplyDeleteJust fun, great idea.
Greetings,

I really like Tree of Life patterns. I think it's cool that you made 2 different blocks for 2 similar quilts. They both look great! A lovely way to remember your time together :0)
ReplyDeleteI love The Tree of Life blocks! I saw one, a long time ago, done with cheddar and muslin fabrics, but I could never make those blocks turn out. Of course their blocks were very large, I bet 16 inches, it was so pretty, maybe I should try again... Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteun recuerdo muy verde!!!
ReplyDeleteme gustan los arboles y verde es genial
buen fin de semana
I love your Tree of Life blocks! They are a challenge, well done!!! Wonderful idea to share in two ways and remember a good day of hiking. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteA perfect block to remember being there. I could see a bird appliqued on it for fun, too.
ReplyDeleteA Tree of Life quilt is on my list. You know, that one day I want to make it list. Love the little trees you made to remember a special day.
ReplyDeleteI love this block, it really captures your experience in the forest.. I like the traditional first block the best but the other is interesting too, very pine-y.
ReplyDeletelizzy
Great tree, and a fun layout.
ReplyDeleteWhat great memory quilts of your hike together. I like that you made two different trees.
ReplyDeleteIt is really wonderful!
ReplyDeleteA fun idea to commemorate a good time with a friend by making something that so fits the situation. I had not thought of that.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful piece and a special gift to remember time with a friend.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Such a wonderful way to remember that special day! The colors you chose really captured the area you hiked in!
ReplyDeleteI love these! Great single block doll quilts.
ReplyDeleteHere is a pattern for a tree I designed based on several antique blocks.

what a nice way to commemorate your hike and new friend!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to commemorate a hike and a new friend.
ReplyDeleteExperimenting with traditional blocks, just one or two at a time--that's a great way to expand our quilting experience and maybe find a future project. These trees are doubly special as they commemorate your hike. Thanks for sharing them, Lori.
ReplyDeleteLori,
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for the "No Homes" Tree of life quilt. You sure did capture the colors perfect. I love it, and will Laugh EVERYTIME I see it. I might find a miniature horse to display it with.
On my list is a Discover Pass and Hiking Shoes. Thank you Again, Ever so much.
