Leaf Project

I love colour but I also love the subtlety of working in neutral colours, whites, creams, soft coffees with accents of darker beige/browns.

Leaf Project

I wanted to do a project that used texture, both from manipulation and free motion zig-zag quilting. This formed the basis for the leaves - where would quilters be without leaves?. Each leaf is a different shape. The idea of the background free motion quilting was to give texture, but without distracting from the bolder texture of the leaf. As each leaf is different, so is the  background fmq.
