I'm as happy as I can be with the first panel of this quilt. It's really difficult to get a decent size photo with such a long panel. It needs trimming right down to 5 1/2" unfinished in width. when they are all done....years from now :)
I wanted an idea of how it would look against the pink I'm using for sashing and I'm pleased with my choice.

I find appliqueing leaves to be one of the easiest shapes to do and there's no fussing with sharp points on these. The panel took eight days for me to applique, working on it each evening and thinking a lot about Susan McCord and how she found time to make this quilt.
wow, that is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI still have intentions on making this one.
did you say that you enlarged the leaves?
This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for showing this panel today - I am inspired.
