These sew up really quickly!
My plan is to make 8 trees every month, and here is February's batch.
The jungle is growing!
While there were bits of orange laying on my cutting table, I decided to start making 4.5 inch HSTs, inspired by Sylvia of Treadlestitches who shared this gorgeous rainbow zigzag quilt that she finished recently.
In order to use up some odd shaped pieces that I couldn't cut into 5 inch squares, I figured out a way to make the HSTs like this -
And it worked!
Here's my orange zigzag row so far!

What a bright and happy forest!! Love those zig zag blocks...hugs, Julierose
I'm not normally a zigzag fan, but these orange ones are making me rethink zigzags... :)
Love those zig-zags and especially your fabric choices. Your forest is really growing!
Love your orange and green forest. It's going to be a magical rainbow forest by the end of the year.
Love your idea for a rainbow forest! Can't wait to watch it grow!
I like those zig-zags!
the trees are looking great and I loved the zigzag last week too. I like your background.
I can tell you are enjoying this project, Diann, and that makes it all worthwhile!
I have a fat quarter of that soda pop fabric that I've used as a neutral in scrap quilts. Your zig zag blocks will be cute.

Hoooooo, pretty orange zigzags! Clever way to transform these pieces into HST!
Very ambitious. I haven't even caught up from last year's RSC!
Clever way to do HST! I am so anxious to watch your forest grow!
Loving your orange
Glad I am not the only one who uses creative cutting to get shapes she needs! Lovely oranges all.
I'm loving your Zig Zag row in ORANGE!! The mixed colors of the growing forest, too. :o))
these little trees are so fun
I love your trees!
I really like that zig zag quilt! It's going to be so pretty! Pretty clever idea how you used odd pieces for your HSTs!
I fell in love with Sylvia' s quilt too. All of your blocks look great. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
The trees are really coming together nicely and look fabulous. I was a big fan of the earlier zig zag quilt and your orange row looks sensational!
Wow, such great fabrics for your zigzag quilt! And I just love the trees with all the different shapes! Both are just full of scrappy goodness!
Love those trees and the zig zag looks great in orange. A little late checking in on the link up..... it was a busy weekend.
I made a zig zag a few years ago as a RSC project. I saw Sylvia's too and thought I should make another. It's a great RSC project. Hooray for you for using those scraps.
I enjoy your rainbow forest too.
