The quilt is too big to shoot in my tiny home, but my guild sisters obligued. I am very pleased with how it came out, so please excuse me if I am a bit smug. I designed about 4 quilts before I came up with a pattern I liked for the fabric I'd bought. Many of the fabrics are batiks, including the ginko leaf background.

Beautiful! What wonderful work you do.

Thank you all.

Shelbe, The father of my best friend when I was growing up was "on loan" from the Canadian govt. to ours to design and make artificial limbs during the Korean War, so I have often felt 'almost' Canadian, although I have only been as far East as Alberta. The maple leaf is not just a delight of the Fall, it's also the symbol of another country I love.

What a beauty! Love the colours, and I really like how you've laid out the smaller leaves inside the large ones - great effect!

You've every right to be proud - {{{{ applause applause }}}}
