Pie Lady Quilts

The Lovely Woods by Pie Lady Quilts

When I first saw this quilt on Instagram I instantly fell in love with it. Those trees even looked a little familiar. Jill at Pie Lady Quilts used my free pieced tree tutorial to make this awesome quilt.
As I perused her blog I found some really cool quilts and was instantly hooked.


Like this one....


and this one! I am so inspired and love her use of colors.



Jill has a free tutorial on her site to make the birds for The Lovely Woods that is pictured above  (go check it out and come back). I went right to town and made one. I love how it turned out and am adding it to my house quilt along with some trees.


Just to keep it real......I wanted to make a long skinny one to show you that they can be made any size. This one is not that great and may go to the orphan box........


I did make another tree and am surprised how quickly they go.



It's the perfect touch to this quilt.


It's going to end up being a very interesting quilt for sure!
Thank you Jill for all the inspiration!

    Great color choices in the blue one. Love the landscape design fabric in the bird block. Is that yours or hers, Kelly? Reminds me of the "out of the box" quilts. Betsy Moses

    love it!! what fun. that the bird is as big as a house - that's my kind of fun quilt.
    Love your light backgrounds with our houses. I plan to start quilting mine next week -
    I have to add Jills blog to my list - some others need to go as blogging just isn't what it used to be.

    Wonderful! I'm loving the improv blocks - houses, trees, birds... combined with the low volume mix for backgrounds. It gives it such interest and whimsy, Kelly. Keep going, it's looking great!
