blah blah forest blah blah

Evidently it's "Forest Week" here at the house of {no} hats ;)  After picking up the Forest QAL project in April and setting it aside until August, I'm elated to have something to show after hours (...upon hours) of sewing these twelve impossibly "intermediately" difficult blocks:


Ta da!


P.S. The colors are slightly more saturated than they appear in the photo, I just didn't want to mess with color correction at the moment (...Now if only there were a magical FMQ fairy in this "ethereal" forest to quilt this for me!)

Linking up with Needle and Thread Thursday ;)

    So, so pretty! Ethereal is definitely the word for this one!
    But i still think you should have gone with my idea to send it to me to figure out sashing ;)

    Beautiful! So modern yet it has such a calming-ness (I know not really a word) about it, like a beautiful day in the forest. This quilt has such personality!!!

    You are amazing! I loved seeing all the blocks separately but I love even more the way they all come together here with the pieced sashing. Perfection!
