One of the things on my Q3 to do list was this mini tree quilt.
I finished it a few weeks ago and it's hanging in my family room now (which is also my sewing room).
I bought the pattern and shot cottons from Jenny Hunter of Plume Art when she came to speak at our guild a few months ago. Jenny bought her original version along to show us, amongst many other beautiful quilts she has made.

It was the first time I'd made anything like this, and I really enjoyed the process. There's both applique and reverse applique in this quilt.
The finished quilt is 30" x 15". I'm quite happy with how it's turned out, especially as it was my first attempt at an art quilt.
I'll be posting another finish tomorrow - that means all four things on my Q3 list got finished. Time to start thinking about Q4 now.

I love your rendition of this quilt and I wrote Jenny about the pattern. I have not ever tri d appliqué or reverse appliqué. Would it be difficult to learn?

I REALLY LIKE THIS ! I almost never buy patterns, but I am curious enough to check out the link that you shared. This is JUST BEAUTIFUL !
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing. You did a beautiful job.
It's looking great hanging on the wall in your house, Wendy. Well done!
This looks so good Wendy. I have found that listing all my WIPs publicly has really helped me to get them finished this year. Of course everytime a finish a quarter, I start another project.
Beautiful finish; I love the peek of green out your window to compliment the quilt.
a lovely wall hanging and you have found the perfect spot to hang it in and show if off
Beautiful. I'm assuming you did the applique by hand? And it's indeed the perfect spot for this little beauty!
What a gorgeous quilt! Love the design and colours . You have put it in a great position on the wall - the doorway and view and the quilt each compliment the other.
Wendy, I love the colours you used for your version and the binding color finishes it off nicely. What a lovely setting for it to hang, congratulations on this finish.
Beautiful tree quilt. Your straight line quilting is so precise. Both applique and reverse applique makes for quite a challenge - at least for me. Do you do hand work on your lunch hour?
Your wallhanging is so lovely Wendy. Makes me want to make one, even though I don't do art quilts. Jennie at Plume Art has some lovely patterns, doesn't she.
Very beautiful Wendy - that dense quilting really works on the mini and the colours are perfect.
Beautifully done, it looks really effective.
Wow, Wendy! Your first art quilt is really superb. I love your colors. It looks great with the 5 rows instead of 3, too. :)
I love the colours you chose for your trees. This is just gorgeous!
I don't often think to hang quilts on walls, but this is a perfect design for a wall-hanging.
It goes without saying that I prefer your lush, fresh green version to the purple original.
