A surprise tree of life

     A woman in my Sunday Bible class, brought me a top she found in her recently deceased mom's trunk. She had no idea who made it, but she thinks someone in her family. I have known the woman for a long time, so I said I would quilt it for her mom's sake. I hardly ever quilt for anyone. 
     When I got home, I took it outside to air and was delighted to see the beautiful tree of life in indigo fabrics (love, love indigo). It is all handsewn, but has a few small holes in the red and a few in the blue. Have to figure out how to mend it before I load it on the long arm. If I could find some Invisifil thread, the quilting would just add texture not color. I think I  will use an unbleached muslin backing or a bone color Kona.
