Beauty in the Bark

Explore beauty of the forest with this color-study quilt based on bark. Pick your favorite tree and closely examine its surface. Choose your tree fabrics based on the colors you discover in the bark. Then choose a background scene and play with value as you look at the concept of “color-washing” in a fresh new way. Your forest’s backdrop could be the blue sky of calm summer day or a blazing sunset or a misty grey-green morning. The choice is yours. This quilt is constructed with easy piecing and forgiving methods that give dramatic effects.
