Leslie's Gobsmacker Quilt is online

Leslie, it's wonderful. I agree the large leaves on the side should be
added, they add a bunch to an already gorgeous design.

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.

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:

that was fun!"

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?

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

Without! The tree is such a bold, strong graphic. 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!

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!

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?

Leslie, if it looks this gorgeous in a poor photo, well, all I can say is
"Wow!"
Leaves, yes!
