Mystery Quilt and Fiber Art Tutorial for "Ablaze"

... as a Quilter

I've been working on the Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt trying to keep up with the clues each week. I've only made a few of the units but thought I'd put together at least a little something for my picture. Of course I don't know what the ending blocks will look like. It's a mystery!

I made this small piece of fiber art as a gift for our guild's annual Christmas party. I call it "Ablaze" and it's small, only 7"X10."

I marked the fabric on the left into 1 1/8" grid on the diagonal and cut the fabric on the right that has fusible on it into 1" squares.


 The squares were arranged and fused to the background leaving 1/4" space to see the background.

 It was then layered with backing and batting and heavily quilted with lines +/- 1/8" apart.

Then I drew a tree on paper, traced it to black fabric with fusible, cut it out, and ironed it to the quilted background.

Next I cut small squares for the leaves and fused them on to the branches and quilted over the tree with dark thread.

I faced the piece, labeled it, and made a hanger for it.
