At the last minute I signed up for a workshop with Pat Pauly
through Empire Guild. I wasn't sure what to bring in the way
of fabric, so I just grabbed a bunch of stuff without too much
fretting over it. Clearly, I didn't bring enough! (Do we ever have enough?)
It was a good lesson for me to just make due with what was on hand,
which I did for most of this piece. Some I added when I got home and a few pieces of fabric came from fellow participants who were kind enough to share and swap.
It was an interesting process - freezer paper templates.
Something I had never done before on this scale.
Here is the final result. Now I have to work on borders.

Gorgeous! I really like the leaf motif... ;-)
The leaf is great, I love all the different fabrics, very cool!
This is wonderful. Just goes to show you what you can do when you are limited in selection.
Share and swap makes the most unexpected and intersting quilts!
Stunning!
Victoria,
That's a beautiful leaf. reminds me of a banana leaf from my home country or any other tropical place!
freezer paper templates are fun. I made my wagon wheel quilt with that and loved it!
I love your color choices for both the leaf and the background!

Ellen's it's lovely!! see ya Saturday at guild?
The "make do" with what you've got made for a beautiful leaf. Can't wait to see what you do for your borders.
Ellen, your art background is showing. What imaginative color combinations!
