aspen grove - forest QAL

Yesterday I finally managed to sew the aspen grove block, which is block 3 of the forest QAL.
It's not very hard to sew, it just has lots of pieces. Naturally, it's taken me a long time to put together - I'm a rather slow sewer (gosh, it looks wrong - sewist? seamstress? /for those reading Pratchett - no, not that kind of seamstress/)
But it was quite relaxing and enjoyable.


You'll find the more "official" looking photo of the whole block here, but I like this one taken just after sunrise, although I had to crop my ugly hanger.
I was hoping for an early spring look, with bare trees and flowers blooming before the grass even shows, so I altered the pattern a little to add some branches to the trees and stuck to just one fabric for the forest floor.
I think with a bit of imagination and goodwill we can say I succeeded ;)
