love the leaf in particular.
leaves are my favourite shape of all time.
no idea why that is, just is.
could be the variety of both shape and colour in the leaf world.
also very fond of hexagons at the moment.
nice work indeed.
is the leaf your own pattern?
only people who are logged into facebook would probly be able to see it.
tho i could be wrong on that.

OK ... here's a photo. This is supposed to be a public link ... I guess
some people have not been able to get to some I've sent to them though.
I'll come up with a different way if this doesn't work.

Yes, I designed the leaf. The fish is a combination of several fish designs
I found.

I agree with Bronnie. As soon as I saw how it was arranged, I thought
echo quilt the appliqué, with gentle swirls over the background. As you
are hand quilting it, a diagonal grid would be good, too. (machine
quilting a diagonal grid would be a royal pain!! with all the stopping
and starting - that's why I thought swirls). The quilting on the
background won't show up very much on that lovely fabric, so simple is
good.

I like the idea of sort of echo quilting the fern and the fish, but I think
the other 2 would be too static. I'm also thinking I would do the echo
quilting sort of abstractly, loose and floaty, rather than precise echoing.
That still leaves me puzzled about how to do the fan and flower.

I also lean towards something flowing because I don't want to mark the
background. It's a very light color and I don't want to risk the markings
not coming out. This is for a club challenge or I wouldn't be so picky.
Thanks. .... Lobo
