A Tree on Plaid

 Created for PQ 17.2 Scads of Plaid challenge.

I wanted to create my own plaid for this challenge. I have made several quilts over the years using Ricky Tim's convergence technique and have always thought it had a plaid vibe.

So I dug in my hand dyed fabric for a piece with enough colors flowing across it. I forgot to take a picture of it before I started. Sorry. Anyway, I cut 4 squares from it and converged them according to Ricky's instructions. 

I liked it, but, being me, I thought a tree would make it better. So I pulled lots of fibers from my supply, wound them together and stitched them down to make a tree, then appliqued it on. I bound the quilt and called it done.
