When I found this fun fat quarter in my stash, I knew just what I wanted to do.
And I'm calling this new project "Rainbow Jungle!"
I really had fun making some wonky trees for this Christmas project, so my plan is to make a bunch of them this year, in a rainbow of colors, using both solids and prints.
Since January's color is green, I pulled out several green fabrics, including my inspiration fabric.
And very quickly, I had these trees stitched up!
Each tree is a 6.5 inch square, so 4 of them will make a 12 inch finished block. Since 20 twelve inch blocks will make a nice little quilt, I'll need to make 8 trees each month. Eventually I'll sew them into the larger blocks, but I want to mix up the colors, so I won't do that until the end of the year.
Meanwhile, progress is already happening on some of my older RSC quilts! I've been working on the final block for Tiny Rails.
Orangy-Gold!
I ordered some wide backing for the Tiny Tuesday quilt from Bernie at Needle and Foot Fine Fabrics, and it came yesterday. I've had this text fabric on my wishlist for a long time, so when I saw that it came in 108 inches wide, and was on sale, too, I ordered a bunch!
I think there's enough for two quilt backings here!

Looking forward to seeing what everyone is working on this first week in January over at SoScrappy on ScrapHappy Saturday!

Love your trees! You'll have a beautiful forest when all is said & done. I don't consider starting your RSC as a hit against your PHD. We're allowed to start new projecs , including BOMs & other year-long ones, but we're supposed to finish them before year's end. That's the part that cracks me up!
Your trees are going to make such a cute quilt!
I love that fabric too and considered adding it to my "Bernie" cart, but in the end I ordered 2 other fabrics. I didn't pay attention to the fact that it is 108" wide, what a great buy!
I am liking your new crop of trees, great idea!
Your Rainbow Jungle is such a super idea for RSC! And that's wonderful text fabric. You always find such fun stuff :)
I love the text print. I am using some that I have left over from last year on my RSC this year - I hope I have enough!
Love that quote on your backing!
Oh, very cute! I love the new backing, too. Have fun getting the tiny rails finished!
Rainbow Jungle looks like it's going to be SEW much fun!!! Best of luck on getting your Tiny Rails quilt together.
Oh what pretty trees, Diann. You will enjoy making more of them too I know. Happy Stitching!
Your little trees are just adorable--I have yet to chose a block for my RSC --something quick and easy so I won't be tempted to "drop off"...hugs, Julierose
The trees! Nothing could be cuter! And I can’t wait to see your Dresden sunflowers added to the sprouts blocks!
The trees will be fun. I really like that backing, too
Rainbow Jungle is such a cute idea for a quilt. And I can see why you wanted to buy lots of that backing fabric.
So fun trees. I just came home, and haven't started with my greens.
The tiny rails are so close! The backing fabric you picked is just adorable, so glad that if came in a wide size. So much easier.
