Here is where I am at in the process...the second quilt from the Leaders and Enders book by Bonnie Hunter. I think a blog friend is sending me some blocks...so I am holding on for those...how fun to include blocks from a friend! All the setting fabric is from the stash...I already had cut the sashing for another project that never came to fruition, so that was great! I do not have enough of these little squares for the border...will I have to (perish the thought)...actually have to cut some? I have been trying to empty my scrap drawers as some of you know.I like the combination of green, red and gold...looks kind of like Holland a little to me.
I put this picture in too...following the book so I don't get lost in the placement! Good idea for me...Have a great day!

It's so fun to see it all set out and get a small glimpse of how it's coming together. I love it! Great selections. =)
Oh my word!! Did the qulting fairies come over and help!? It looks like MILLIONS of those little squares! I'm in awe (and a little jealous! LOL)!! It's going to be positively gorgeous -- and in my most favorite color combo, red/green/gold. Awesome!
Blessings,

Fantastic too see yours...look at the link above for another!
The red sashing is perfect: it makes those blocks POP!

This is fantastic...the settings just makes those blocks pop.
You are making amazing progress!
Oh I love this pattern. It looks so great with the green setting tri's and the red sashing. Very very nice!
What a perfect quilt for autumn, it's going to look lovely when it's finished, another one to add to my one day list!
Your quilt will be so wonderful when you get it finished.
This is looking wonderful! You are moving fast! Hey, we started the computer training today...oh my :-0
Wonderful!!! Love how all the colours are playing together! Great work!
it looks great so far! I may have to pick up that book, I really like that one:)
I would not have thought of using all those different colors for the trees but it works. I like them very much.
It's looking great Julie!
It's looking wonderful, Julie.
Thank you for showing me what the tree block was going to become. I love it.

I also made the crab apple tree quilt and enjoy working on quilts designed by Bonnie. I really like the quilt in your blog header, it's beautiful.
Looking good!
I love those Scrappy trees!
The sashing colors look great too. This is going to be a wonderfully cheerful quilt!

I like the color selection of red, green and gold. It looks fantastic, can't wait to see the finished quilt.
Wow...you've made that many blocks already!
I really need to get that book! Wonderful colors for the sashing and triangles--really sets off the trees.
I never would have thought to use the green as the setting triangles, but it's perfect. Makes a really strong statement, and the red sashing and gold blocks just add to it. You're doing great Julie. Love it! Do you actually have all your tree blocks done already??? Can't believe it! Hugs, Finnie
That is going to be a gorgeous quilt, love the design and fabrics.

I just don't know how you get it all done Julie. I feel exhausted just reading your blog! Good you will be in a job, and the quilts are amazing as usual!
Neat trees, you make me want to start mine!
Oh I"m loving the colors you are using to put them together with!
Oh, the quilt is looking great. Isn't great to use up some of the fabric in your stash?
It's growing by leaps and bounds!! Love the red sashing!!
I just love those tree blocks, with the colorful array of little squares. It's on my list now.
Oh that is so nice! I just love those trees! I have a pattern similar to that but I'm thinking that mine has triangles instead of squares. I do like that, what size are you making it?
Kristie
Just love your trees!!! Gorgeous!
Your top is looking great. The green setting triangles look great with the sashing. If it's a million small pieces, its a Bonnie Hunter pattern:) Her new mystery will begin some time next week. Are you planning on doing that one?
I love your forest!
So glad you get to keep your job!
Love the work in progress, but oh, my gosh, all those tiny little squares! lol
Wow Julie...that green adds so much!! This wiil be an awesome quilt!!
You're making wonderful progress. I love the green triangles.
Love your blocks and how it is coming together. My daughter made one like this a long time ago and it was put in a book but I don't rememeber which one. She didn't have the red sashing around the trees. Great Julie but think you will still have scraps. LOL
Beautiful!! This pattern is my favorite from Bonnie's book!! and yours is just as lovely!
Julie please e-mail me directly. Thank you!
