O Tannenbaum IV - September's UFO

Quilt # 102.

This is my UFO Challenge 2012 for September, a challenge issued by Judy Laquidara at Patchwork Times.  Have a look and see who else completed some UFOs.

O Tannenbaum IV

#11 is done!

O Tannenbaum IV is the fourth in a series of stylized trees.

See    I and II here   and    III here.

This is what I started out with this month:

I added the four corner triangles using the 2 batiks that were in the block and then 2 borders from my hand dyed fabrics.

The back was pieced from hand dyed fabrics and some left-over batik from the front.

I quilted feathers learned from Diane Gaudynski's online tutorial and stippling in the background very much like O Tannenbaum III.

quilting on back

I stitched the quilt information on one of the pieces before stitching the back together instead of adding a separate label. Much easier.

instead of label

One more of these to go, I'm really liking the finished products and love quilting feathers.
Number 6 is next and the one I have been dreading.

Until next time,

Terry
