.... I would wish for you,
that your "Confetti Tree" was full of confetti
for all of your celebrations!
Here's how I made my raw edge applique quilt.
I pressed/ironed Lite Heat and Bond on the backside of the fabrics.
I cut the fabric into tiny squares --- 3/4 inch.
Let them cool and peel off the paper from the Lite Heat and Bond.
Made a trunk of the tree with the greenish fabric.
Press/iron the pieces in place on the black fabric.
I used 2 layers of batting - Hobbs 80/20 (Cotton/Poly) Batting on the bottom and Hobbs Washable Wool Batting as the top layer.
I quilted on the black fabric with a dark grey quilting thread with overall Paisley Swirl Quilting.
I selected Bermuda Blue for all the tree parts.
I stitched in Marcia and 2016 by the tree trunk.
I machine stitched on solid black fabric for the binding.
Another fun quilt created for the first Project Quilting Challenge for Season 7.
My finished quilt measures 18" by 24".
I named it " If Confetti Grew on Trees"
I create and quilt in Boscobel, Wisconsin.
I am sponsoring 2 prizes for each of the Quilt Challenges again this year. I have been sponsoring since Season 2. Check out the list of prizes HERE.

Enjoy your day and may your "Confetti Tree" always be full of confetti for all of your celebrations!
