It might be 90 degrees outside but inside I'm thinking of fall. I took a class for this wall hanging several years ago and never finished it. I don't even remember the name of the pattern or who designed it. So with Kim's challenge on her blog
Kim's Big Quilting Adventure, I pulled this one out of the UFO pile and FINISHED IT! No it's not quilted, but the top is done...yay!
The leaf blocks are made out of prarie points with many different colors of fabric. If you have never tryed prarie points, you can see how there are done
here on about.com
There is even a prarie point border.
I cut out eight assorted leaves and appliqued them onto the cream fabric. I used the raw edge method for the applique. I thought about hand stitching the leaves on ...for about a minute! Then I came to my senses and decided to get this done in August.
I used the free motion foot on my machine and did some "drawing with thread" on the leaves and stems. I have to say this was alot of fun. What took me so long?

Whow DeeLee! What a beautiful quilt top. Those prairie points are awesome! I've never seen them done like that before, and your "thread painting" turned out great! Now it's time for the "cooler air" to blow in.
