Ti Leaves

This little quilt is finally finished.  I didn't have much in the way of imagination while doing the quilting.  I just wanted to get it done.
I did a simple, meander pattern to get it all together. 
I don't know if you the picture does this little quilt justice.  Overall, a successful project.  Would I do it again... I don't think so.  Too fussy.

This will by last real post for a few months.  I'll be back, sometime in September.  If all goes well, I'll have pictures from wonderful new places and pictures of the things I made along the way.

Until then, hugs,

Becca

Ti Leaves

I continued working on the Ti Leaves project. 
 Here, you can see I've finished the stitch outlines on all of the leaf shapes.  I had one set of leaves left over, and considered adding them to the pieced blocks.  I didn't like the effect, so it just didn't happen.
I did a bunch of fussy piecing to get it all together.
Really, really fussy.  This pattern would look so awesome if done with batiks.  That will have to wait for another time.  
The fabric requirements for this quilt are ridiculous.  I had so much left, I managed to piece together the entire back from the leftovers for the front of the quilt.  (Okay, so I added a few strips of a coordinating green from my stash.)
I haven't had a chance to quilt it all together, but it's ready.  Since this is such a small quilt, it will have a tube along the back for hanging.
