I didn't think I would like the scrappy look, but yours look great! I am really amazed!

You have really changed my mind and now I am wondering if I should attempt a scrappy look to my leaves :0)

Glad you like it! I had gotten a box of bits and pieces from one of our fellow board members and these beauties were in it. Orange is a color I like but don't seem to purchase very often. So it was perfect for this. Still have to get some more of the pebbly black background. Thought I had enough but had only figured the black for the HSTs so when I started cutting I discovered I still need some for the last 4 blocks. The other blacks I have don't really look quite right because of the type of swirls or whatever in the design.

Wanting to do this one, have fabric picked out, washed, and pressed. Now to be sure have time. I have not cut it up yet, working on the time factor first. Love fall colors and especially the maple leaf so will keep this in mind. Let you know when I have them at least cut up? LOL

Great job! Peg

I finally was able to get out and go purchase my fall fabrics, but have a few other swaps that need to be done ASAP, so I'm working on them first to make sure I meet the deadline.
