There are so many eucalyptus trees here at our new house and on our new street, that I have not been able to resist the urge to work on some new quilt designs.
As I go for my morning walk, I keep seeing clusters of leaves hanging 'just perfect' for a quilt design, so I feel a few more of these coming on in the next little while!
I have been focussing on the loose theme of childhood in my quiltmaking. However, this past week I began a series of mini eucalytus quilts again, as a refreshing change. The piecing on the eucalyptus quilts is much more relaxing to do than piecing faces! Above are the bits all puzzled together and ready for piecing. This quilt includes some screen-printing in the background. I had planned to take more photos of the process, but as often happens, I got carried away with the process and forgot about photos till I was done.
