Simple log cabin pattern. Then I found a leaf shape I really liked Fused heat n bond on some beautiful fall batiks and placed in random array and then machine appliqued. Same with the tree in the center block. |
That is beautiful....I love fall themes
the quilting is simply amazing |
Beautiful!

Absolutely gorgeous in every way! I am so attracted to fall colours & the season itself is my favourite!

Beautiful. You can almost hear the leaves in the breeze. Smell the fall in the air. Love the "tree of life" center.
|
That is one beautiful quilt, lovely design. And the quilting really enhances it. Well done both!

What I did was searched Google images for "leaf clipart". I scrolled through pages until I found a shape I really liked. I printed out the image so it would fit onto a 5"x5" square. Cut the leaf shape from the printout. Then I fused heat-n-bond lite onto squares from a charm pack of the Fall Batiks I had purchased at Connecting Threads. Placed the paper cut out of the leaf onto the fusible paper side and traced around the leaf. Cut the leaves from the charm square. I then took a fabric marker and drew veins on the leaves. I did the same with the stems. Fused heat n bond onto dark brown fabric only I freehand cut those (no template) Now they are ready to be fused onto quilt. I appliqued using a straight stitch about 1/8" from edge of leaves. Then I stitched on the "veins" I had drawn. Easy process! but time consuming for me. If I could do free motion I would have stitched the leaves and veins that way, but I just had to stitch slow and had to rotate the quilt top a LOT! There were a lot of curves on those leaves! (maybe if I ever do those again I will choose a leaf that isn't as intricate.... |
Gorgeous colors.
|
Sooo Gorgeous both the quilt and the quilting :D What kind of thread did u use to stitch the "veins" on your leaves? It looks thick and I like that look! Maybe it is just the close up :? Loved it on Charismah's pages and love it on your page. Perfect quilting to finish off your lovely quilt!!!
|
It's beautiful--thanks for sharing it!
|
I already loved the front, but now I love both sides- I really enjoy the pieced backs too ;)
|
Your quilts are beautiful and the colors are fabulous...:)
|
Love it, love it, love it!!!!!!!!!!

I stitched UP each vein and back so it is "doubled" stitched. |
It is Beautiful!
|

Beautiful!!!! A word that seems to get overworked when describing quilts, but can't think of anything better.

The quilting is hard to see in the full view photos but it is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I had originally made binding in a dark brown but after I started to attach it didn't really care for the way it looked. Thoughtit detracted from the beauty of the quilt. So I had some orange left over from piecing the back and tried that. I LIKED IT A LOT BETTER! |
I love fall items. You both did a great job!!
|
ohh so pretty!
