12 days of Christmas topiary - TheQuiltShow.com

Story Submitted by: ravels

I found this wonderful 12 days of Christmas print on dark green and just had to have it. I was thinking of doing a different kind of tree, maybe a topiary but wasn't sure how to go about it. My problem was solved when I came across a 5 piece tree stencil that was a topiary tree. I used each stencil to cut out the light then dark green leaves. The tree trunk, 2 piece flower pot and pears have all been padded like trupunto before being quilted. I just loved the "pop" of pink/orange/fushia tie dyed border that matches outfits on the characters in the larger border. This was a slow process but I really liked the result.
