Panel One - first draft

This is the first cutting for the left side panel. I spent hours ironing the material and then attaching fusible web.  I had made a general pattern of where the different groves of trees were but it's difficult to distinguish clearly from the original photograph.  What you see in terms of the trees is only the bottom 3 feet of the panel.  If you look closely you can maybe distinguish where I laid down sky materials one on top of another.  The upper 5 feet of this panel are sky with two clumps of pine branches. 

Critique of draft 1 - the near trees are cut okay but there isn't a distinguishing tree line between the near hill and the second one back.  There is a well cut tree line but the color I used fades into the background.  Need to switch that color completely.  The farthest left part of the second mountain (to right of picture) is angled too high.    Need to do revisions and then take another photo.   .

My construction plan as follows:

• 
  
   to cut out all the mountains first (two more panels)
• 
  
   to cut and sew the sky together
• 
  
   to sew the mountains down
• 
  
   to cut and sew pin branches
• 
  
   to cut and sew pine needles
• 
  
   to cut and sew pine cones
