Tree of Life 2025

My project for 2025 will be the Tree of Life quilt in red/white. 

Here is some inspiration.











Here is my Electric Quilt block. 
24 Half Square triangles in each block. 


Projects like this that can be very boring (2 color quilts!) take some time. My thought is to  make 2 blocks a month. I still haven't decided if I will use shirtings/muslin or different reds. 

What I'm leaning towards is muslin and a variety of reds, but using the same red throughout the block.

If you have a tedious quilt you want to make I find breaking it up into manageable sections each month makes it so much more doable.

Anybody else? Anybody want to join in?

Happy New Year!!

  2. I love the red-white-blue tree of life. So beautiful. The quilting on the two-blue-fabrics Tree of Life is stunning. I'm seriously considering joining in. I've always loved the pattern.

  3. Hard to do, beautiful result. Did you count the total HSTs or too discouraging? I know better than to jump in but oh, I wish!

    I think you have found the right approach. I don't use solids too often but am a sucker for red and white quilts. All of your samples are tempting....

  7. I am considering this but with scraps. I like your approach of only 24 HST's per block. It's all in the mindset. Right?

  9. Be sure your reds are colorfast first. Ask me how I know!! Two color quilts are great.
