It only used four layers of fabric, cut into four triangles. Then each 'stack' was sewn together to create the blocks. They were 3 inches square in the end. Then I set them on point and added HST all around.
Since I used Japanese fabric - you can see the border fabric I started out with - I decided to take a photograph in my cherry tree. Only my cherry tree is a sour cherry, that bears fruit. Unlike the Japanese cherry trees that don't. Also, mine is white and the Sakura are pink. Look at that beautiful blue sky! Couldn't ask for anything better!
I have one more wall hanging to show you, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. I was busy quilting it this morning, when our power went off. I have no idea why because it is not raining or cold or inclement outside. We had no electricity for several hours, so it's not finished. Too bad. Tonight is our Guild Meeting. I had hoped to have it finished for 'show and tell'. Oh, well, there is always next month.

They're lovely and the wallhanging looks wonderful in the tree!!
Lovely quilt. Do you eat the sour cherries? (I was given a pint once - ended up throwing them out...)
What a perfect match, your quilt with the cherry blossoms! Japanese fabric is very pretty! I have never worked with it yet. Does it have a different feeling?
i love this quilt because of the colours.

you have the most beautiful blue skies. That was great setting for your quilt picture, quilt as blue as the sky.
A gorgeous springtime quilt. It matches the flowers and the sky so well.
What a great setting for such a beautiful quilt.
If only you could leave it hanging there all thr time. It is the perfect setting for such a wonderful wallhanging.

Beautiful quilt and tree. Love all the blossoms. Hope you have power now.
Gorgeous quilt and it looked like you pulled fabrics from out of the sky and tree to make your quilt. Beautiful setting for a photo.
We lost power yesterday too for quite a while. I prepped some klosjes while waiting for the lights to come back on.
The quilt is beautiful !
and the tree too !
