Mosaic Tree for do. Good Stitches

Ta da!  I just finished my last bee block for this month's round of do. Good Stitches, the Love circle.  Our quilts go to needy children through Wrap Them in Love.  Anyways, here she is....

Mosaic Tree - a block for do. Good Stitches

Do you think she looks nice with the Hexagon Tree?  I do.  My little rainbow Mosaic Tree is decidedly different, but I hope they'll be friends.

Mosaic Tree & Hexagon Tree

Can I just say that I love applique?  Gosh, it makes sewing so easy!  I just cut the scraps to size, making them fit together a little like a puzzle, and then glued them on the fabric with a simple glue stick.

Applique in zig-zag

Thus stabilized, attaching them with a zig-zag stitch was a cinch.  And, with the zig-zag stitch you don't even have to stitch straight - it doesn't show!

Mosaic Pincushion

The mosaic concept was inspired by this beeeautiful pin cushion made by Corey of Little Miss Shabby.  Thanks, Corey! Such a fun way to use up those little bitty scraps =)
