The dye was green, not blue, so the cloth was saved, not for an ocean quilt, but a forest one. Like in J.R.R. Tolkien's work, trees can resemble sentient beings, especially when we read about mycelium that allows them to communicate with one another. Otherworldly: in their own world. I imagined sprites and wood nymphs and dryads, but only found one little creature. Can you find it? There may be more. Organized loosely as another exploration of the traditional quarter log cabin quilt pattern.
