I love those leaves of salad or oregon grape that turn brilliant as they die in a blast of glorious colour. The motivation for this quilt comes from those imperfect leaves.
As you can see I didn’t try for an exact copy, but instead used the colours and shapes as inspiration. I'm really enjoying the abstract approach to quilting. I can zone out while I choose fabrics and I'm not getting too fussed on accuracy or realism. I'm enjoying the interplay of colour and shape.
I lost some detail as I cropped my quilt down to size. (And I did it again today on another quilt!) Oh well, live and learn.
Here's a close-up.
