In mid-19th century quilts, Karla Menaugh and Barbara Brackman found a forest of light-hearted inspiration. They have created a fanciful block-of-the-month quilt based on these quirky, one-of-a-kind tree patterns.

As you create these playful tree blocks, Karla and Barbara show you how to machine appliqué in their signature style using freezer paper and a variable overlock stitch to mimic hand appliqué. Each block has tips to help improve your technique as you progress through the quilt. Four additional projects including a make-do, pincushions, a wall hanging and a table runner are included.
