I couldn't make it with the simple, oval leaf shapes--I made mine a tulip tree. One of my favorite trees when I was studying botany in college. One of my friends has one in her yard at her new house--lucky! I think they have a very cool leaf shape and pretty flowers too. If you were wondering, the scientific name is Liriodendron tulipifera.
Have a great Wednesday!

That's so cute! Tulips are one of my favourites.
I am loving it!! Tulip trees are beautiful, and your block certainly makes the grade in my book!! So, you've got a little botany under your belt? My kind of girl! ~karen
pretty!
This is so beautiful. I have a tree obsession. I love pics of them and art with trees in it. My favorite tree just happens to be a tulip tree...I am lucky enough to have one in my yard...my Mom planted it for me 19 years ago (I live in the home I grew up in). I love this block thank you for posting it!
Love it! And thanks for reminding my about the tulip tree - we had a hughe one in our front yard growing up. It's one of the few trees whose scientific name I remember from college - OH so long ago - Liridendron tulipifera!
I love how it turned out!! I can't wait until the real tulip tree blooms!
i love this!!! it is adorable. i have never seen a tulip tree before.
It turned out very nice! My neighbor has a giant huge old tulip tree that borders our property. I love those leaves, and they are literally as big as my head!
wow looks super - such pretty shapes for a tree - i've never heard of a tulip tree before
I love the changes you made!! So much character, it's lovely!
