Family Tree crazy quilt

I'm going to be years finishing this crazy quilt and I'm OK with that. The center panel is a design in an Australian quilting magazine that I've made in silk on a silk velvet background. That is the first and last time I try to applique on velvet. What was I thinking? Everything slipped and puckered and distorted and rippled. I eventually ended up fusing the velvet onto muslin and was able to finally get it to look nice. I plan to embroider the names of my family and ancestors on flowers that will be appliqued on the branches. The crazy quilt blocks around the border are being embellished with motifs that represent events or ideas that are important in my life. There are close ups of some of the blocks on my flickr site.
