Can you feel the breeze blowing through the trees?
This is the second, hand-quilted, tree quilt where I used the idea of creating the feel of the breeze blowing through the trees. Freehand quilting is definitely not as easy as it looks, but I am really happy with the results that hand quilted lent to it.
And for the back, I think I came up with the perfect woodlands fabric, Riley Blake’s Fox Trails.
Does it remind you of last years “What does the fox say” video?? I thought so, too!
Hope you love it, Baylor, and know just how much love was stitched into it, especially for you!!

Funny, I had it in my head that this needed to be done it hot pink and turquoise and really bold colors, but I’m glad I challenged myself to see it in “boy” colors, because I might even like it better being calmer. You should try it, it was really quick. Thanks for stopping by, Sarah!
