I have not made this design of an art quilt for a few years. This art quilt has about twelve shuffled blocks each with about 8 pieces which I used for the varied greens and pale blues for the sky/leaves top 2/3 of the background. I used curved piecing for the lower third with a special tiny red flowers print fabric for periodic wild flowers in this deep in the woods quilt design. The trees are all traditionally piece into this art quilt as you build the background from the top down to the bottom. A quilt like this requires careful planning, laying out the trees so you know which are in front and which in the background and what layering you want to follow. I found myself taking photos frequently as I pieced this so I knew which trees to add after which curved pieces of the foreground. I used more multi-branched tree shapes than usual which also takes some extra planning.
