Thank you all for the wonderful comments! My head is swelling LOL!!! "Forest for the Trees" is my original. I strip pieced a collection of batiks (varied widths from 1.5" to 3") then strip pieced white batiks and cut out freehand for the trees. I then FMQed all of it together.
And yes, I am trying to get ahead on my Christmas stack. I always seem to need extras so I am trying to get the gift closet filled early! Helps to finally have life settling down so hubby and I can stay home on the weekends. I quilt, he gardens.
