The working title for this quiltlet was "Fire in the Trees," but the concept grew to something larger, something that could be a metaphor. The design finds itself close on the heels of its sibling, Rough Patch, but I pieced and quilted it last weekend, while I was still in progress on a larger art quilt. I felt like making something small, and I had a few small pieces of scrap batting that seemed right.
