CHRISTMAS QUILT by STEPHANIE

Hello! I am linking up with http://sewcalgal.blogspot.com/ for a very fun Christmas Quilt Show 2011!
 After you see my Christmas quilt, take some time to check out some of the other fabulously creative quilts in this show.


I was inspired by Freddy Moran's quilt "Little House in the Big Woods" in her Collaborative Quilting book to make 500 trees! 
Yes, the plan was for 500 trees...


however, due to sanity issues, it turned out that only 60 trees were possible.


So...

Those 60 trees +  1 big bow became the wrapping paper for a wonderful Christmas present!
Hmmm...what would you put inside?

Thanks for visiting! Remember to vote for your favorite!
Ho ho ho

    I love your tree quilt. I saw Freddy's tree quilt at a trunk show, her color selection is just breathtaking, and as you said, inspiring.

    I think I'd give up after about 60 trees too. depending on the size. Great idea to turn it onto a gift bag. Thanks for stopping by to see my Entry.

    This is adorable! I just have to laugh only 60 trees in order to keep yourself sane. No fooling!! That's about all a person can take. And I love, totally love the way you did it up into a bow. Very cute and Very Clever. Thanks for commenting on my blog (tree quilt) so that I could come see yours.
