Ponga tree pattern
I designed this square for the Friends Around The World 3rd Anniversary CAL. It represents a native New Zealand fern tree known as the Ponga fern (Cyathea dealbata). The underside of the leaves is white or silver in colour so it is sometimes known as the silver fern and has often been used as an emblem of New Zealand. This square was designed to show a bird’s eye view of a Ponga tree from the top or the view from looking up at the tree from underneath (if you choose a silver or white colour for the fern fronds).
