Tree of Life
Center
By Bobbi Finley
The tree-of-life is a classic compostion, an ancient tree sprouting flowers and leaves that could never co-exist in nature. Westerners adapted the idea from various Eastern imagery.

The hillocks (range of hills) at the base are a tradition.

Exotic birds are an important addition.

Love the quilts, also really like the Banyan tree quilt pattern , making a center medallion quilt is on my list of special quilts to start next year.
Those are so pretty! I played around with the technique when I made Baltimore blocks, but I've never tried a whole tree.
Thanks, Barbara, for posting my quilt. And thank Judy Severson for spotting the fabrics and talking me into making the quilt. It was fun to make and I hope others are inspired to do so.
