The MQG just completed a challenge called the Make-a-difference challenge. Entrants made a "tree" quilt and submission fees were all donated to Trees for the Future. It was a worthy cause and a fun challenge, so I jumped in and made a tree quilt.
Winners, chosen by member vote, were announced today, so I can finally share mine with you. While it didn't win, it was very fun to make. As usual, the design came to me in the early morning hours one day. I hurried to get it into my sketchbook, then pieced it together. I really love the bold, graphic nature... you'll see more of that in days to come. I quilted it with my walking foot on my domestic machine and especially loved the echo quilting I did on the left side of the tree.
Though not part of my Through Ellyn's Eyes project due to colors used, I can see how it fits into my aesthetic. Maybe I'll make another in my project colors? We'll see!
Congrats to those who won prizes. The quilts were all awesome, and all very different. I loved seeing them all.

Such a pretty pink tree.
I was in a Christmas mini swap years ago and the lady sent me a pink Christmas tree with black backing. Love it…
Love your tree. A collection of these would make a great quilt.
