Fall Tree Art Quilt in progress and advice on how to face a quilt?
Hello everyone! I am looking forward to Fall and cooler weather.
I made this tree in a guild workshop. The variety of tree color fabrics are backed with fusible web and ironed together to form the tree. The teacher showed a spring scene around her tree. I am creating a Fall scene with some of my favorite things about Fall....mum flowers, pumpkins, straw stacks and scarecrows and will stitch lots of colored fall leaves on the branches and floating in the background. Before I embellish the quilt with leaves, I first have to quilt the background. (may be with swirls ) The scarecrow will stay on the haystack and I found an owl to place in the open space of the tree.
If anyone has a good tutorial on how to Face the quilt, please share your advice or a link with me. Thank you!

OleaBlossom, did you forget to post the link! I have used this method from Marci Baker and did a big quilt with it.

The link Mandyrose put up is great. I have another at home that I will also post if I can find it. I also use a line of glue before I hand sew the back down so that I can keep it perfectly straight with a ruler edge.
Very nice quilt!
