First Prize Surprise
 
1 Attachment(s)
My friend and I worked on this quilt a year ago. She called last night to tell me it won first prize in at a local fair. Tandem class. It's her quilt and I did the quilting and added the leaves. I didn't know she entered it! Picture is not the best.

Amen to that!! Gorgeous without the leaves and quilting, but then over the top gorgeous quilting and the leaves make it double over the top gorgeous. It should be entered in more shows. How did you do the leaves?

The small leaves are double fabric fused so they have some integrity. Each is stitched down the main vein only.

Great teamwork! It is so unique in both quilt design and quilting with the leaves attached...just as if the wind blew them on top of the quilt top. Lovely colors...My name for it would be Blustery Fall Day!

Wow, now that quilt just embodies fall. I bet it's really pretty flat, too. Will it be used or hung as a decoration? You both did very impressive work.
