I wanted an ornament that was modern, yet also had traditional patchwork, and that would easily fit in a shipping envelop. I love trees, and after looking at many variations on the tree ornament, I came up with this. My stylized triangle tree is modern and has clean, simple lines.

I saw something similar in a magazine and went to work today. It was actually pretty easy, but very tedious.
