    It was a really good project, but as I mentioned it was difficult finding a good variety of leaf patterns - perhaps there are more available now.

If we had thought about it, guess we could have done cross-stitch leaves, embroidered leaves, crewel work leaves, ribbon embroidery, paper-pieced, used embellishments, etc.

    We were a small club of 6-8 people so that is how many blocks we made each month and everyone took one of the block made by each member. If only 6 people did blocks for a particular month, but we had made eight blocks, then we each had 2 extra of the blocks we had made. There was a wide range of fabrics used from solids, to plaids, to batiks, to small tone-on-tones and that coupled with the colors and variety of leaf patterns used from month to month made for a quilt with a lot of movement. Just really wished I had gotten pictures of the quilts done by the other members - every setting was different, and the quilting done on each was different too. They were all beautiful.

    Thanks for the compliment. Would really like to see a full sized photo of your avatar. I am "into" Baltimore Album" blocks also - just need to take some photos of the blocks that I have finished - maybe that would also give me some incentive to get back to them and at least make a small wall hanging.
