While on Pinterest, I stumbled across this cute scrappy Christmas tree:
Cute, huh? Here's my quandary. I was thinking I'd quilt this and complete it as a wall hanging like my scrappy spool wall hanging, but how do I quilt it? Do I use straight lines, a design, quilt only around the tree, do straight lines around the tree and a design inside the tree, and on and on and on???
Sew, if you had a scrappy Christmas tree, and I hope you do sew yourself one, how would you quilt it?
I'll be mulling over that this weekend as I try to finish some other projects that I've started, but have lost my steam and desire to finish them. I hate when that happens. I don't want to start anything until they are finished. Sew frustrating!
Oh well. And my favorite part of the scrappy Christmas Tree...
The yellow Anna Maria Horner star, of course. I had to throw in a little Anna.
Here's to a great weekend and hopes of sewing a little!

Love this! Its darling!
love this christmas inspiration. never to early!
I think deciding how to quilt something is almost the hardest part! You can't lay it out to see if you'll like it...Are you going to do a layer of batting? Or are you just top stitching it?
What about some sort of hand stitching? Outlining the whole thing with a simple running stitch?
But I also like the idea of random straight line machine quilting as well.
Can't wait to see what you decide :)
