Stained Glass Trees

I'm pretty happy with how this little fabric stained glass tree project turned out....and I'm excited about finishing the other two.                                                                                         

As I've mentioned before hand-dyed fabrics fuse so much better than commercial fabrics because they are chemical free. I don't want to top stitch the trees on these "stained glass" projects so hand-dyed is the way to go and I have some black on order.

I had one little swatch of black from a sampler pack...just enough to make the trees for my little 4 x 6.  I fused the tiny pieces for the branches first...then added the trunk pieces on top covering all my seams.

I got a little impatient and used commercial black fabric I had on hand for the binding rather than waiting for my order to come. Next time I'll stick with the hand-dyed and bind it like I do a quilt ...I'm not all that happy with my corners.  But all in all I feel like this was a successful experiment.
