Fall leaves

Just had to show you all the pretty fall leaves since it's officially "that time of year".  I know we are having warm weather yet but with our cool evenings and mornings it really is nice to say goodbye to 110+ !  We survived another July and August in AZ!  So these great gals all came to make my fall leaves quilt at ETC.  We spent the first class learning this maple leaf block, this week we spent most of the time figuring out how everyone should lay their quilt blocks out.  Betsy made lots of blocks and should have enough for a table runner too! Aren't they pretty!
 Therese was still working on hers and Denise brought her EQ design software so we all had fun seeing different things that could be done, thanks so much Denise for doing that.  She's planning to lay hers out like this, her blocks with the greenish teal background were beautiful and rich with fall colors!
 Here are Ernestine's, in the end she and Betsy both opted for an on point lay out so they could learn setting triangles so we spent the last bit of class cutting setting triangles and learning how to set the quilt on point.  Her blocks were coming out so pretty, she decided to make a few more and add the blueish teal in and some more of the raspberry pinks.  They all did a great job on their leaf blocks and learning they can design their quilt as they wish, I think there will be some pretty quilt tops leaving next week!
