Baby blanket with a forest theme
 

My niece is planning a forest theme for her nursery, which left me stumped (pun intended) for a quilt pattern. I finally chose this one:

One thing I learned is that if you cut a rectangle and cut it on the diagonals, you do not get mirror images and so you do not get a tree! Instead, I folded the fabric right sides together, cut two rectangles, cut the diagonals, and got two trees from each fabric. Still scrappy.

Another thing I liked about this pattern is that the background triangle is bigger, so the tree you end up with has some border at the top and the sides instead of having the tree points touch the end of the block. That appealed to me.

That is cute and looks sweet and simple. Not implying that it was simple, just that it doesn't look obnoxious! Nice job!

On a side note, I like your trees better. I like the long tree trunk.

It fits the theme. Good job.

Cute quilt. So what else goes in a forest nursery? How do they come up with these ideas?
