This was one of the offerings for October’s Project Tuesday at the Guild.

It took me most of two days to finish the wall hanging. I hadn’t paid enough attention to how the leaves were stitched to the background, but I managed to get the job done. I tacked my leaves together and also stitched each leaf around the center circle.

At the Guild demo night on the Thursday following the Tuesday session, I watched another, more experienced quilter tacking down her leaves. She tacked each leaf to the background (at the bottom and the top) with a stitch that was hidden under each leaf. Another quilter (a former teacher) suggested that an uneven number of leaves was probably more artistic, and that you would want the leaves to overlap somewhat to give a better 3-D affect.

I decided then and there that I would take mine apart and do it again. I’m much happier now with the final product.
