I did this before I found out that paper piecing was hard. Ignorance is bliss.
All hand quilted.

That's beautiful--I love your colors. Did you have a difficult time hand quilting thru the batik fabrics? I did one a few yrs ago (didn't pre-wash) and my fingers and hands took a beating. Any hints? You do really great work.

How pretty! Don't you just love paper piecing after you get the hang of it? It makes sewing so accurate.

...I think you did a great job, I have avoided learning paper piecing as it looks like it requires alot of patiences and I am short on those...lol.

Very pretty! The colors are perfect for leaves and your quilting is lovely. I have seen where people say PP is easy, others say it's hard. I haven't tried it yet but there's a cute PP wall hanging pattern in my Quiltmaker magazine this month that I think I'll try my hand at. I reckon I'll find out real quick whether I think it's hard or easy. :)

I pre-washed all the fabric, but that tight weave is hard to push through.

I don't like paper piecing either although I have to admit it does make for some sharp points! Really pretty quilt.

MaryStoaks 03-17-2010 01:40 PM

I love it! The fact that you both paper-pieced and hand quilted is amazing. Hats off to you!

I was being a bit sarcastic. I had no trouble at all!

Makes me think of the piles of leaves we used to rack up in our yard every fall. Can almost smell the bon fire! Lovely quilt. Love the colors and the fabrics are perfect. Good job.
