1. Robin started with a unique process of bleaching the background to give her leaves a shadow. Robin comes to us from the east coast and LOVES fall colors.

2. Michelle added stained glass maple leaves in the corners and flew some geese around the block.

3. Bonnie takes a busy center and frames it with a light cream/tan blocks.

4. Paula has added the tree as requested by Robin in her original design requests.

5. Kathy was puzzled as to what to add to Robin’s tree, but she put in paper pieced leaves and HST border on the other two sides. Wonderful!

Hi Robin, I have a book showing how to do the bleaching like your center and have been wanting to try it out. Now you have really inspired me again. Will have to try to find the book. Looks like you are all having fun. Elaine

Robin,
I would love to have you first send in your picture as everyone else has their pictures. AND I sure wish you would give a class on the shadow technique of the leaves. I absolutely love it!
I love this website so that we can keep up with all the changes to each quilt. Keep up the good work!
