Oh Susie! It is so wonderful how you get your inspiration from works of art. And what an excellent way to choose a color palette. Your forest of Spring Trees is going to be very beautiful all done up in low volume fabrics. This first one turned out so well!
ReplyDeleteI love the subtlety in your fabric choices. This is a great block!
ReplyDeleteYour first tree is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing the others... Great use of this fabric to give the idea of the branches and the shade. Very clever.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see more trees.

ReplyDeleteYour tree looks fabulous, Susie! Love the low volume choices. This is going to be a gorgeous wall hanging!
ReplyDeleteI love a low volume forest, kinda like it's fogged over. Can't wait to see the rest. So far it looks great!
