In my post last week, I showed a mock-up of the background of my Maple leaf art quilt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, I fused the tree trunks to the background leafy fabric, then layered it with batting and backing, and quilted it with vertical straight lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cut the leaves from the full-size paper pattern to determine exactly where I want the leaves on the background. I’ll use this to position the individual leaves when I quilt them in place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This quilt is a good example of why I work better when I have a deadline. I was pretty bored quilting all those vertical lines, but with a looming deadline I persevered and got it done. Then I blocked the quilt – I laid it flat, sprayed it with water, gave it a good pressing and left it to dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I’m back to the fun part – quilting the individual leaves. It’s taking me about an hour to quilt each leaf. First I quilt around the outside edges and up the center vein. Then I quilt around the edge of each fused piece. Then I trim the boiled wool close to the fused pieces. In the photos below, clockwise from top left – leaf 4 before quilting, leaf 3 being quilted, leaf 4 quilted and trimmed, leaf 4 quilting from the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
