    Beautiful, I love the colors and how the trees are arranged.

    Your trees are very pretty. I like them a lot. If I were to add a border I'd applique a string of Christmas lights to go around the quilt.

    gorgeous. I absolutely love the blue you picked for the background. It enhances the whole project for me. And of course this is the pattern that kicked off my love for paperpiecing. Thanks for the peak.
