The Ponderosa Quilt was inspired by the wildfire adaptations of ponderosa forests. The flying geese blocks represent the incredibly thick bark that protects the inner tree from flames, and the vertical strips represent the self pruning behavior that drops dead branches to protect the core of the tree.

This advanced beginner pattern can be made as a multicolor version, a two-color version, or a fat quarter version and comes in a baby, throw, or bed size!
