I still had some backgrounds cut from last week so I sewed up 5 of them.
I put all of the new blocks up on the design wall as well as a few that were on the side in the last photo I showed of this. I think I have about 18 more regulars size blocks (lots more orange and red) to sew and 2 larger ones. Then I need to cut some small size pieces from the Charley Harper fabrics to help fill in the space around the larger blocks.
I got one more large block cut and the branches/trunk cut to size for it.
While I had a load of laundry in I pressed the backing for this wallhanging and then taped it down and layered the batting and top. I have it ready to baste now. It is going to be hot for a couple days so the basement will be a cool place to be.

Your arboretum blocks look just stunning all together!!
And i love that crow quilt--so vibrant hugs Julierose
SO good to seeing the yellow one move forward. It is one of my favorites.
The tree quilt is coming along!
Great progress on yellow & black ‘n white piece. ~ And your new trees added are awesome plus that last one photographed, not sewn, is my favorite, background and tree fabrics are sensational. I enjoy watching this one grow so much.

What a colorful forest you are "growing"! The whirling yellow blocks are intriguing.
OMG! You're making a block with Kaffe's lichen fabric. It's so amazing! Maybe I'll be really lucky and run across a piece of it in some out of the way fabric store or thrift store some day.
Wonderful, wonderful Arboretum! I am quilting my last quilt for the quilt show and it is slow. Pretty much recovered from the scooter attack!
Those trees are stunning! Love that wallhanging too.
