The white shapes are leaves and the black ones look like little frogs to me.

Autumn Leaves Drift By My Window

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.
Would have added quilted lines as rays coming from the upper left corner to the mountains but ran out of time to figure out how to do it.

Forbidden Fruit Falls Far From the T

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.
Using the Forbidden Fruit Tree block from the EQ Library I colored the tree leaves in a similar pattern to the center rings. Initially designed without sashings, they were added to this version which gave the design a different look.

Late Summer Vinyard

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.

Ginko Silhouette

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.

Leaves

I saw this leaf block some where but can not remember where. The quilt was done in autumn colors. I just liked the tessalation of the leaves.

Tree Leaf TV Quilt

Some designs were in EQ5, some I made up by tracing photos. I want to write the common name of each tree in it's block in pigma pen; but didn't bother doing it in the EQ5 design.

Early Spring

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.

Leaves are Falling, Geese are Flying

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.)

Lucky Palms Medallion

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."

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.

Grapes of Autumn

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.
