Here’s an autumn leaf UFO from fall 2006. Or maybe those are autumn flowers, I can’t remember. It’s my own original design so it can be anything I want it to be.
Either way, the top is nearly complete. The hand-dyed cotton petals are all machine appliqued and the solid wool felt petals are hand appliqued and beaded. I still need to finish the applique on a few of the wool petals. Then I’m going to do some sashiko-style hand quilting in the background.

I love the black background…makes the leaves 'pop'!
Very pretty.
I love the leaves against the black background. Looking forward to see your sashiko quilting.
