Tree quilt top with leaves

I worked on a quilt top today which features a neutral background in an oatmeal colour and three "trees" which are strips from  my very long strip of 2.5" pieces that I stitched a while back. It took me a while to figure out how to get my trees at the angles I was wanting.  In the end I stitched the background together and then cut the background and inserted my strips.  Worked out really well and just as I wanted.  Next, I cut 36 leaves from scraps of green fabric which I will slow stitch to the trunks of my trees!!  I am really looking forward to that process.  I may consider some slow stitching on the background as well as it is looking quite plain at the moment.  We shall see!!
