Dedication: I call this my Smiley Tree design, because I learned to draw it by drawing a big smile and cutting it down the middle vertically and using the halves to make the branches. I have used this design as a quilting motif as well as an appliqué. Does it make you smile?

This quilt has Fast Finish Triangles.

This quilt earned $45.88 for the AAQI.
