Fall Foliage Progress

I've finally gotten started on living room quilt #2. This is the Fall Foliage Spectacular quilt from Judy Martin's Cookies 'n' Quilts book.

As I often do, I cut out the odd-shaped pieces with my Cricut Maker.

When you start with a new cutting mat and blade, it works beautifully!

I foundation paper-pieced the little stem pieces because it was the easiest way to make them perfectly accurate. (This is a departure from Judy's original pattern so I made a handy pdf with foundation pieces. You can download it here. Be sure to print out at 100% or they won't be the correct size.)

Now I just need to make 44 more leaves for the border! LOL

  2. That’s a nice pattern. I enlarged the picture a little to see how the leaves are incorporated into the log cabin strips, and it’s really interesting.
