    Default Maple Leaves
    Hi All, just finished my Maple Leaves quilt top. Not my best work by any stretch of the means. This one fought me every step of the way. I had a very hard time with this one for some reason even though it is just squares and HSTs. Now I just need to make the sandwich and quilt. Any suggestions for quilting? I was thinking just diagonal lines spaced a few inches apart.

    Thanks for looking.
    Shari

    That's beautiful! I know exactly what you mean by having a quilt "fight you every step of the way". You know it's an easy pattern, simple sewing and it just won't go right.

    I love the colors of fall and your quilt catchers that. Thanks for sharing your lovely quilt. A diagonal grid would work perfectly.
