I went on a workshop earlier this year to learn how to make this patchwork picture. Tuesday is my patchwork afternoon so I've been working on it today to make it into a cushion. You end up with two trees, one in relief of the other and it's quite a lengthy and involved process, although very satisfying.
It's a beautiful patchwork image. I love quilting and wish I could do this. @jyokota is a quilter and through her work and her friends' work, I've learned to really appreciate what it takes to do this well.
My most recent quilt is http://365project.org/jyokota/365/2013-10-29
