Thanks for all the kind words, folks! I have made this kind of tree several times over the years and don't remember where I got the idea, but here is how to make the tree...I'm sure there are lots of you that can out-do me on the embellishments!
I first cut a large triangle from (40 inches across at the bottom, 50 inches tall) green and white fabrics (use colors of your choice) This made 2 large elongated flying geese panels. One with a green tree and one with white tree in the center. To give the tree it’s branches, I cut the green one into 2 ½ inch strips and turned the strips upside down and stitched them back together (I numbered each strip with chalk pencil to be certain I got them back in the right order. This gives the tree it’s ‘branches’. Add embellishments and borders as you like! Very easy quilt with a minimum of piecing.
