You are right about the scale. The pattern balances a mountain and a tree block, making the tree block feel pretty large. Maybe it’s because I just finished a Bonnie Hunter quilt (with a typical Bonniezillion pieces) and 2/3 size of a Laundry Basket Quilts mystery, but these tree blocks feel huge (even in the original size). I’m glad I didn’t “size-up” the block on a queen quilt. And I can see why the designers of the quilt guild raffle quilt felt the need to add appliqué for more detail.
