This was my second maple leaf--I had most of the blocks made and searched for the best orange for the setting strips and border. I found this beautiful Princess Mirah batik when I was on jury duty in the Land Beyond Ohare (what we Chicago types call where I tend to get lost),
It is being held by a nice young man from New Zealand who is visiting with my nephew. They teach English in Korea and are watching Korean soap operas on tv this morning before heading downtown.
Love the maple leaf quilts, I have made a couple. My favorite is still waiting to be quilted!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!! Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI see that ghosty block again... :-)
ReplyDeleteOh Lynn, both quilts are wonderful and seem so different yet both like fall!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt, someday I will aspire to get to that. Im working on a 9 patch now and just learning my way. That is absolutely beautiful....

Ohh, I like both of those maple leaf quilts! Especially the ghost leaf. Neat idea. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Lynn, I just wanted to say that I love looking at your quilts, they are just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt would be impossible to pick out a favourite. Please keep 'em coming to inspire us all.
Hi there, I found you through a link somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to quilting and am loving it!!
Great blog, I'll be back again! Your quilts are beautiful!
Have a great day! :)
The batik is beautiful...really sets off the blocks. One of my first quilts was a maple leaf - originally I'm from New England so it remains a favorite!
