This little (19" X 23") wall hanging is already
several years old...not quite double diget years, but close. I do love it and yet, never seem to get around to quilting it.The leaves are an odd size, probably were suppose to be 4", but finish at 3.75" instead.
My creative touch will be(the next one..LOL) will be give them 1/8" satin ribbon stems. I want to come up at the V of the leaf, twist the ribbon once or twice and then anchor it by going down at the corner of the background. On the back side I will probably have to stitch that stem stub down by hand....*VBS* That should keep me busy for a few evenings. Hope you are all having sunshine on your shoulders today...*S*

awesome wall hanging- can't wait to see you finish it Finn! such fun.
What a great piece, Finn ... and ribbon embroidery, too.
Hope you have a great weekend. *s*
what a great little quilt. i love the idea for the stems. You, missy, are quite clever!!!
I love the colors on the wall hanging. It should look even better with the ribbon and embroidery.
Oh how pretty these leaves are! The colors are wonderful against the dark background.
I have a pieced leaf top somewhere ... I'll have to look for it.

I love the quilt. Fall is definitely in the Air.

What a pretty little top! The rug is really coming along, too! Fall is arriving here, too - in the form of a flock of geese on the bay yesterday morning!
I love the beautiful colors of those leaves! Will you post a picture once you've done the stems?
Whqat a wonderful addition to your fall collection of decorations this will be. The ribbon stems will add an interesting texture to the surface too...
Love the autumn colours of ths one - it will look so pretty with the ribbon stems.
those little leaves are so cute--and look how big your crochet section is getting too. Is it heavy to hold hit already?
Nice little quilt. Love those leaf blocks.
the wallhanging is georgeous!!
I can't wait to see it finished.
Ribbons stems sounds perfect!! Can't wait to see how they come out! The rug is coming along quite nicely!!
Embracing fall. Nice idea. Leaves falling here too. Have a nice day!
Very cute leaf quilt Finn :-)
What fun! Your ribbon stems will be a wonderful addition. Since this piece has been around so long and you've not been anxious to get it finished, have you considered that just maybe it isn't finshed? Could there be a "niggle" somewhere in your head that thinks it could be something more than the delightful "small" piece it is? and has been for how many years?
Oh I love the idea of the ribbon stems! Hope you finish it because that is really cool!
What a pretty fall quilt. Great idea on the ribbon stems. And I love the rug you're working on -- my kind of rug -- would look great on hardwood floor, except for the slippery factor!
LOVE the leaves!
Perfect for the beginning of fall :)
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's a bit slow on getting the actual quilting done!
Ohh, what a perfect little piece to dig out and finish for fall - and I think the satin ribbon stems will be a great touch to add. Labor intensive, but worth it!
Awesome... Guess the quilting slump is abidding.. Wonderful colors..
