I got some solstice day pictures of this recent finish of a scrappy tree of life and the pieced back. It has already been dropped off for donation!

This was all made with 3 1/2" sized, 60 degree triangles. If you have worked with 60 degree triangles in the past it isn't any different. I recommend starching the fabric well before cutting because there are a lot of bias edges, but otherwise isn't too tricky. The bias edges want to stretch and distort.

There isn't a pattern, I drew it out on triangle graph paper (www.freegraphpaper.com) and used all scraps.

I love the design. It looks as if winter sun was shining into your eyes through a tree.
