New Landscape Quilt

The other landscape quilt isn't panning out, I just can't get into it so I thought put it away for another day.

So I started on the winter oak landscape and I am loving it. It isn't quite finished, but I think the rest of the details will be added with machine stitches, rather than gluing on more fabric or trying to change colours with markers.

So now it is pinned to the batting and backing fabric and ready for some free-motion quilting. I may add a hint of sunshine to the leaves with gold thread, because the markers just aren't doing it. Gold thread may pick up the glint that I am after. And the dry grasses that are in the snow will be added by stitches as well. A slow process but a fascinating one. More later.

Progress on the fence quilt

More has been added, not really sure about this quilt. It's just not coming together in my mind. This photo doesn't really help as it is not detailed and the fine points of the leaves and flowers haven't been captured.

Landscape quilt ideas

Ideas for the next landscape quilt. The same tree in four seasons. Winter - stark blue cloudless sky, tree with dead leaves and snow on the branches.

Spring - new fresh green grass, blue sky with clouds, dandelions perhaps

Summer - deep blue sky, some clouds, purple cone flowers

Fall - grey sky, orangy-brown leaves, dry grass
