The quilt top was made as a row robin I did the center - "falling leaves" next was Brigitte from Germany then Annette from France. Tutu from South Africa did the "maple leaf" -- except in SA they are the buds of the national flower. Elizabeth from Canada did the small squares. And I appliqued them down and added the final borders. It took about a year to complete the circle. The red edges are the paisley backing which I was delighted to find as 120" wide.
