New Spruce

Last week at least eight mature trees were cut in front of the church I attend. Some of them were growing too close to the fence, and some threatened a walkway. Others obstructed the view of the building from the road. Understanding all this somehow doesn’t lessen my sense of loss. I really hate to see any tree cut down. The name of today’s block is New Spruce. It’s a variation on a traditional pattern called Tree of Life. It’s just a bit complicated, with lots of half-square triangles that are kind of picky about when and where they’re placed. The block is meant to be set on point, so when you look at it, you should probably tilt your head 45 degrees to the left. There. That’s better.
