A Late January Square

Before I got so sick this past fall I had the idea that I wanted to do a Christmas tree quilt.  I know we've all packed up our decorations trees, and the last thing you probably want to do is design a Christmas tree.....but I really, really want one.  Our January square will be an applique pattern.  I have some pictures of tree shapes that I like.  I will assign each person a picture to use as their inspiration.  The tree doesn't have to look exactly like the picture, just a general interpretation.  You can put one or one hundred (that might be a little hard) trees on the square.  You can add elements to your square such as presents, ornaments, scenes, etc. to satisfy your creative pangs.  The only reason I am giving inspiration trees is to keep all the trees from looking the same.  I would like traditional Christmas colors used.  Bold reds, blues, greens,and gold.  The only thing that I request is that you use the following material somewhere in your square.  It doesn't have to be the main color, just a piece of it somewhere.  The square needs to be done on plain white material without any designs or white on white pieces.   It should measure 12.5 x 12.3 when completed.  Here is the material:

Here is a sample of some of the colors that I have chosen for my square to give you an idea of the tones I would like:

And now for the inspiration trees:
