Ok gals (and maybe a few guys). I am totally blown away by what you all are doing with your Modern Trees Quilt Along. I feel like I’ve lit a spark of creativity and you are turning it into a full-blown bonfire of inspiration. Yeah, maybe I’m not so good with the metaphors, but the blocks are really amazing to me.
Here are just few pics I pulled from my flickr group:
Joanna P’s Improv Blocks
Myrth McDonald’s Block
Lattegirl40 – lovin’ the scrappy!
Barbara P’s Layout
Check out this fun block that Melissa over at Happy Quilting came up with.
Paper Pieced Trees
It’s actually a different size, but is a good alternative for those who may want to make a bigger block, or who don’t have the tri-recs ruler used to make my version. Melissa’s block measures 10″ x 10″ finished and is paper pieced. She’s posted a blog tutorial on how to make it.
I’m thinking how fun it would be to combine larger and smaller blocks in the same quilt. Remember, this is your quilt so feel free to adapt it, innovate and truly make it your own!
The next Modern Trees QAL Tutorial will be posted next week.

lovely quilts 🙂
I don’t know how I missed this before, but thanks for adding my tree 🙂
Everyone is doing awesome! Just joined the flickr group today!
These are all just amazing! I am already behind 😦 as I haven’t had a chance to even cut my fabrics yet. Hopefully I can get started before the holidays are upon us!
Thanks for this post. It’s great to see what others are doing. I have 15 trees cut out. =)
These look wonderful! I meant to order my ruler before I left on vacation last week and totally forgot! I’m ordering it RIGHT NOW so I can get started!!!!
That block pattern really unleashed the creativity!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!! Hugs……
I have a question about the ruler. The ruler you are using has two rulers in it but the link has only the regular triangle. You need both or just one.
The tric recs ruler set comes with both rulers in one package. The picture may only show one of them, but the item includes both 🙂
That’s a good idea of making different sizes of trees. I love my trees but when I look at the others I want to try what they are doing, too. See what you started:)
Lovely variety in the those blocks!
They look wonderful – what inspiration! Different trees and different sizes. Looking forward to seeing them all!
