Spectacular! Was not expecting it to be so big. What pattern did you use to quilt it?

Well, I will try to make it short. A friend of my son's is an advent gardener and he happened to tell him that
I do quilts. The friend wanted me to make him a quilt to be hang on a wall but not the ordinary kind and he wanted it to be exactly like a picture he saw in a book. He sent me the picture and I tried my best to make it like
he wanted it to be. I sent him a picture of it and he is exstatic about it!!! It was testing my ability to the
limits on this one. I just make things up as I go along when I do these types of quilts. Anymore in the
future? I really don't think so!!! ha ha ha I did learn alot while I made this one.
Thank you all for your kind words. I certainly needed it.

It's really beautiful, I have just become interested in art quilts and I hope to start one soon. Strangely I have been drawing the same leaves in my mind ever since. I hope mine turn out as pretty as yours. Good Job and thanks for Sharing.
