Pane by Pane Tree Quilt

 

This quilt has been waiting in the wings for about 4 years.  I found the pattern in Love of Quilting magazine March/ April 2014.  I tried it first in tans and neutrals I had in my stash.  I had purchased fabric for this and then had to change it, so purchased several yards of new fabric. One lady said she used this pattern using many different fabrics.  I will have to think about that.  It wasn't my favorite pattern and I usually don't like to make a quilt more than once.  I have already done it twice!  I do like how it splits up a pretty focus fabric though.  I didn't quilt this one as much as the tan one and I may regret it.  It didn't lay really flat and maybe more quilting would have helped that, but it was a pain to quilt.  Straight line quilting is hard and I would much rather do  a design where I don't have to worry about marking or sewing straight, etc.
