Use
a leaf block somewhere in your quilt. Choose any leaf block design
from the EQ5 Block Library or one you have designed yourself. Set it
into a quilt and design with it or around it. |

Started with an
EQ leaf, cloned numerous times, resizing and rotating until they
were
cascading down and across block. Copied the leaves over a pieced background
representing fields in the fall with mountains in the distance, to
create
an overlaid block. Block then set in "window" of brown wood
sashing, blue painted sills and a blue-purple-aqua wallpaper to contrast
the leaves and complement the mountains. |

The blocks for this
wallhanging started with the same leaf but this time I kept the stem
and used WreathMaker to make a ring of leaves which was then cloned
and resized 2 times to make the inner wreaths of the center block The
outer setting blocks leaves are in various orange-gold fabrics.

Sherry Cote With the exception
of the tall, skinny trees and the grape clusters the center of this
quilt is one PatchDraw block. California's central
valley, one of the richest agricultural regions in the world, receives
no rain from April - October. The lush orchards, vineyards and gardens
are dependent on irrigation for their success. The surrounding unirrigated
landscape is a rich golden brown, or drab and arid - depending on your
point of view. |
Sherry Cote The design was traced from a picture of a very old Japanese brooch. I wanted to create the illusion of depth so I placed one motif slightly offset on top of another. I think this design
would make a beautiful trapuntoed pillow cover. |

Sarah Long I used the Four Leaf Clover block and a modified Flowering Snowball block. I hope the Four Leaf Clover block meets the challenge requirements since it has "leaf" in the title. I changed the arc slightly on the Flowering Snowball block so it would form a secondary pattern when paired with the Four Leaf Clover block. I don't usually design in these colors so this was an experiment. Kansas |
Sara Weber I thought of the title for this quilt first, actually, and then looked for patterns with geese or goose in the title. "Maple Leaf" blocks alternate with "Goose in the Pond," and the quilt has two borders: "Geese and Strips" on the inside and "Flying Geese" at the outside. (All blocks are from those included with EQ5.)
|
Sara Weber This quilt was inspired by the July pieced borders challenge (which I didn't have time to take part in), as well as various discussions of medallion quilts. The layout I've
used is "Horizontal-Center Medallions - 30." A "Mariner's
Compass" center is surrounded by two borders. The first is "Diamond
in Square Strips," "Chevrons and Stripes" and "Corner
4B," with a second border of "Stripe 2A" with "Corner
2A." In the outer corners are my leaf blocks: "Four Leaf Clover"
blocks flanking "The Palm."

Trish Cooper My 18-year-old daughter wants a Double Wedding Ring
quilt done in blues for her (eventual) wedding. This challenge gave
me the opportunity to work through various designs, and this one was
my favorite. |
Trish Cooper This quilt was designed
for my husband, Thom. It incorporates some of his family crest colors
with his favorite pattern - Double Irish Chain - as well as my favorite
theme: Fall. |

Meg Lamey I used a applique block from EQ5 and isolated the grape leaves, then made a wreath. This is my first attempt at a quilt in EQ5, I'm a new user. I would put details in the leaves and vines with free motion quiltling. Thanks for letting me join this challenge. |
