I LOVE leaves so that convergence quilt is out of this world. I will have to try it.

Question, why does it look like your leaves are floating or 3 dimensional?

They are called shadows and made by cutting a black fabric with the leaf fabric then staggered them so they look like a shadow. I placed them on their sides and across the quilt so it would like a breeze just blew them off a tree. I used monofiliment thread and appliqued them down Hope this helps.

I love the shadowing on your leaves! All are great. I am curious--on the 3-d pinwheels, are those finished blocks you have then worked into the quilt???? Wasn't quite sure how you got them to be 2 colors. Really like the effect.

Hi Rachel, I used 2 rectangles with wrong sides together and serged down one of the long edges. With the serged edge at the top, fold the right top corner down to the bottom edge and place onto one triangle with right angles matching. Baste in place. Make four of these units and stitch together to form a block. Be sure all the pieces are laying correct to form the pinwheel. Stitch block together. Hope this helps.
