‘Autumn Leaves’ is the theme of the current Quilting Arts Magazine reader challenge<\/a>.\u00a0 I love the colors of fall foliage, and I often take photos of leaves and trees with the idea I will someday use them as inspiration for a quilt.<\/p>\n

I reviewed my collection of leaf images and found this one taken several years ago.\u00a0 The colors are fabulous – the Sumac leaves are a glowing fiery red-orange color, which contrasts really well with the blue-green foliage in the background.\u00a0 Using Picasa, I boosted the color and contrast, and cropped the photo.\u00a0 Then I printed the image on fabric.<\/p>\n

I used a dark pink thread to outline the edges and thread-sketch the veins of the foreground leaves.<\/p>\n

\"Thread-sketching<\/a>\u00a0 \"Thread-sketching<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I layered the quilt, and free-motion quilted the background with a teal thread.\u00a0 The foreground leaves, stitched before layering, are slightly raised from the background, giving the quilt some dimension.\u00a0 The quilt is only 8 x 10 inches and I thought a 1\/4 inch binding would overwhelm it.\u00a0 So I decided to see how narrow a binding I could make.\u00a0 I used a single fold binding and stitched it so that only 3\/16 inch shows on the front.\u00a0 I’m very pleased with the effect.<\/p>\n
