I do longarm quilting and a customer of mine picked up leaves in the woods, copied the shapes, cut them out of fabric backed with wonder under, ironed them on in vertical rows on off white material. She then set them together with a leafy material strip. I think she had two rows of leaves and three strips of fabric. Also put 4 in the corners. She just called me yesterday and said she won first prize at the county fair. Yippee!!!!
