More Trees

I loved making the block for Shauna so I decided that I would use the idea to make two cushions as my contribution to the school auction.  I like things that are 'the same but different' so I made one tree pink with green quilting and piping, and the other green with pink quilting and piping.  I was trying to making the quilting look like the rings that you find in wood.  I have spent the last 4 days making them and now there is a back load of laundry and an empty fridge to sort out.

    Linsay! These are amazing!! I would bid on them in a very competitive manner!!
    How do you do your top stitching? Do you have your own long arm machine?

    Really beautiful work. I too love the same but different approach...I love your artistic style.

    PS: Are the backs plain or do they also have some design?

    Thank you for being so complementary about the cushions. I did get totally engrossed making them. I did the quilting on my normal machine. It has a free-motion quilting setting which I only ever use on small quilts like these. I haven't been very successful machine quilting on full size quilts. The backs of the cushions are plain. I thought that no-one ever sees the back so plain would be fine.

    WOW! WOW! WOW! These are amazing. Let us know how much they go for. Beautiful! I love how you quilted around each tree. Makes me want to turn the block you sent me into a cushion too. Love!

    Gorgeous work Linsay. I expect there will be stiff competition in the bidding because they are so marvellous.
