This quilt block shows three trees next to each other. Each tree is a different shape. The rightmost tree is tall and an oval shape and is a dark splotchy green. The tree to it's left is pretty standard, cone shaped, and is an even dark green. The tree farthest to the left is amorphous in shape, and is a bright green fabric. The trunks are all a light brown and outlined by a yellow stitching. This is all against a blue salmon-patterned background.

Block-A-Day 213 – Olive’s Trees

Today I continue my quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan-Claire Mayfield. This is day two hundred and thirteen of that project.

This quilt block shows three trees next to each other. Each tree is a different shape. The rightmost tree is tall and an oval shape and is a dark splotchy green. The tree to it's left is pretty standard, cone shaped, and is an even dark green. The tree farthest to the left is amorphous in shape, and is a bright green fabric. The trunks are all a light brown and outlined by a yellow stitching. This is all against a blue salmon-patterned background.

Olive has trouble making decisions.

Choices are hard.

Olive has three different furniture styles in her house in three different colors. Every shoe she has is in at least three different colors.

When you eat dinner with Olive, you can see a dozen different styles and colors of dishes. Even the kitchen floor has three different floor coverings.

So it is no surprise that these are Olive’s trees. Once again, Olive couldn’t make up her mind.

Fortunately, with trees, it really doesn’t matter.

The trunk of the tree rests in the center of the bottom of the block and grows upward, tapering to the end point at the top. Then yellow and green stitching comes out of the top like a fountain and "sprays" downward. With each stitching line there are green leaves outlined by stitching to indicate the leaves of the tree.
