Fancy Forest


This is Reneta's version of Elizabeth Hartman's Fancy Forest quilt.  This quilt is a bit of a labour of love.  It has A LOT of pieces!  2016 is the year Reneta committed to sewing her stash, and she was able to make almost this entire quilt less the background and the backing!


I recently quilted Reneta's Fancy Fox quilt with wood grain, and Reneta requested the same treatment on this one as they will be living in the same room.  We decided that the blue Stonehenge backing was a nice compliment.


I love how the woodgrain quilting adds texture without taking away from all of the work that went into piecing the top. There is so much to look at.
