Oh yes I agree that connecting them would have been quicker and that was my original plan. But when I drew it out on paper I just liked the look better with each leaf separated. But I do really like the idea of linking them with swirls and loops to give them the "movement" of falling leaves. Additionally I ended up with some odd spacing between some of the leaves where I could have used swirls and loops for filler. I am learning something with every quilt.
