Leaves - #44 March

I finished Turning Over a New Leaf by Laura Heine for Regina R. in March.  I had received the fabric and pattern in May 2015.  I had been putting it off for a long time because I had never done trapunto before.  It did take a long time to do and it was terrifying to have scissors around the quilt top.  But, it is finally done.

I had to go into Fiberworks a number of times to look at the original quilt by Laura Heine.  I wanted to get it right.  One of the ladies at Fiberworks told me that it was ok to put some of my own personality into the quilt.  I didn't know if that was ok since it is for someone else.  After giving the quilt to the actual owner, she made me feel better.

Now I have to work on In My Garden by Laura Heine for Regina R.  It has a lot of small pieces.  It is going to be even more stressful to do the trapunto.  I need to get it done.
