Leslie, it's wonderful. I agree the large leaves on the side should be
added, they add a bunch to an already gorgeous design. -- Sherri G in Kentucky http://community.webshots.com/user/sdgodfrey | http://www.hamiltonpipeband.org/bergerfamily/leslie.htm | | I haven't decided yet whether to applique' the large leaves on the | border, so y'all may tell me what you think. With or without? ;-) | | Leslie spitting on my stoopid camera | |

Oh Leslie, With a gorgeous piece of work like that, you don't need to think
about your photography! Can't imagine how it could look much better. Thanks for sharing, thanks to Kellie too. Martha "The HairyFacedOnes 'N Me" wrote in message ... Many, many thanks to Kellie for doing this for me.... what a gal! Sadly, I am a much better quilter than photographer. It sure doesn't look so "gobsmacky" when reduced to the dulled colors and lack of detail in the pictures. Darn. Darn. Darn. Anyway, you can see it at: http://www.hamiltonpipeband.org/bergerfamily/leslie.htm I haven't decided yet whether to applique' the large leaves on the border, so y'all may tell me what you think. With or without? ;-) Leslie spitting on my stoopid camera The HairyFacedOnes 'N Me- My dogs aren't my whole life...they make my life whole. RCTQ- Houston 2004.....

The one without the extra leaves gives a greater, stronger impression of the
last lonely windy days of fall. I love how you achieved that! Now, with the extra leaves it balances out the patch of "leaves" still clinging to the brances of the lower right side of the tree. Reduces the impression mentioned above, but adds a different kind of balance and interest. Adds food for thought. What are you after in this quilt? Karen, Queen of Squishies |

I like the extra large leaves. My vote is to go for it!

It really makes a statement. The large leaves are a distraction. They draw the eye out and away from the central drama. They're like making a good, strong beautiful, speech and then saying you didn't mean it or cracking a corny joke afterwards. Without! --Lia |

Well worth waiting for! It's a beautiful quilt! I really like the leaves
on the border, and maybe even a few heaped here and there along the bottom edge? No wonder you're gobschmacked! chipper "The HairyFacedOnes 'N Me" wrote in message ...

Wow! It's terrific!
About the large leaves... what about sort of piling a few on the lower left, with maybe one or two edging into the main part of the quilt? --Heidi "The HairyFacedOnes 'N Me" wrote in message ...
