Yay! I finished my Snowy Forest quilt! I made this quilt in conjunction with the #improvtrianglesewalong with Nicholas Ball @quiltsfromtheattic. He hosted this QAL on Instagram in February. This is the 2nd year that I participated. His book Inspiring Improv is a great resource for improv quilting!
Once all most of the triangles were sewn, I started to make 'slabs.'
And puzzle them together adding additional triangles or pieces as needed.
All the fabric, mostly scraps, were from my stash. The Kona white is a staple in my stash, and the white/gray marble is from a cut-off from a previous quilt's backing.
It was ready for quilting! I quilted the 'forest' with intersecting diagonal lines about 1/2" apart.
I found some evergreen trees in a local park for a photoshoot.
The backing is 2 larger pieces of green from my stash.
The quilt finishes at 33.5" x 45"

I just love this. I made one as a qal a couple years ago and it is still one of my favorites.
