One Panel - One Month


I started this fabulous quilt a little over a month ago and I've just finished the large panel at the bottom. I work full time - one of life's many unfortunate distractions - so this will take me some time to finish the whole top.
For the large panel, I used wool for the trees and I love the diversity of the textiles. But in hindsight I think I went a little crazy with the prints by giving so much "character" to the animals and birds and could have done a better job color coordinating these prints a bit more. Oh well. The wool is a great idea though (thanks Amy G!) because this is a tricky image and with wool you don't have to turn the edge under!
I will post progress as I go - as so many of you are doing. I'm guessing 18 months to finish?
