Hive 2 - November Tutorial- Not a Christmas Tree for Andrea

This month we'll be making a tree.  Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom has an excellent tutorial, so I'm just going to direct you over there.  The only change is the background color.  Instead of having all red backgrounds, I'd like any background of a rainbow color.  The final block is 12.5x12.5" square.

Greens for the tree: 8- 2.5x2.5" squares and 4- 3x3" squares.  Please make sure the fabric reads green.  If possible please use at least four different greens for the tree.  Please no batiks, but solids are fine.  


Brown for the trunk: 1- 3x3" square.  Please no batiks, but solids are fine.

Background - any happy rainbow color: 19- 2.5x2.5" squares and 5- 3x3" squares.  I'm doing a medium blue, but I also added a few other color examples.  You are welcome to use any rainbow color, not just the colors that I give examples of below.  If possible, please use at least 5 different fabrics (again no batiks) that read their given color.  Also if possible, try to stick with a specific color - i.e., light blues vs medium blue.  This last request isn't too important, but it will help make the trees stand out more. Again, please no batiks, but solids are fine.





And here's another block!  Again, this finishes 12.5x12.5"



Please note that the address has recently changed, so if you write the addresses out in advance you'll need to recheck the address document.
