Trees, Trees and more Trees

Heather Mulder Peterson from Anka's Treasures recently had a quilt along for either the Let It Snow quilt from her book Angles with Ease 2 or this runner.  The runner she wrote up and gave those of us who wanted to make it instead of the quilt.  Since I love making runners I chose the runner.

This is my finished runner. My trees are all from green scraps from my green bin. We started by making the trees so I didn't bother to pick out my border fabric. After all I have 2 tubs of Christmas fabric-surely I will have something to go with those green trees. Yep I sure did:-)   I love the pinecone fabric with it, just perfect IMHO!  The pattern goes together very easily. You do need Heather's Angles with Ease ruler to do the designs in the book(and this runner). But since I tend to be a ruler junkie, that wasn't a problem as I already had it ;-)

For the quilting I choose wishbones for the trees, loops for the background. One inch piano keys for the border finishes it up.

    Yes, I just had exactly the same thought! I love making runners, too. That is so fun, and I love how the trees turn both ways!

    It's great Vicki. The pine cone fabric is terrific and just what was needed. I enjoy trees and will have to keep this in mind. I just finished one of Heather's table topper patterns and thought how fun it was to make and get it done fast. I might have to post a picture somewhere for you to see.

    Love the wishbone in the trees...that is so effective. I keep collecting Xmas fabrics but have yet to make something out of it.

    This turned out amazing. The wishbone quilting was perfect for the trees.

    This is adorable Vicki! I agree with Jasmone on the wishbone quilting. I love runners too and might have to make one. Do you mean rulers to make the trees? I have the Marti Michell Wonder Traingles for triangles inside half rectangles wonder if that would work?
