Go to www.quiltingstencil.com. They have dozens of leaf stencils. After you get a stencil to your size, buy some Golden Threads tracing paper (at your LQS). Trace your stencil on the paper, then stack up 10-12 strips of the tracing paper the same size as your design. Staple them together. Take the thread out of your machine, then, using a #14-16 needle (to get large holes), drop your feed dogs and sew around the pattern. This will give you sheets and sheets of your pattern. Separate the sheets, pin them on your quilt and start quilting.
