Leaves of Green: A free pattern!


This month, I am Designer of the Month for Aurifil thread, and my Leaves of Green pattern (shown above) is available as a free download on the Aurifil blog. Pat Sloan, who is organizing the Designer of the Month program for Aurifil, did a little write-up on me, and the link to the PDF download is at the end of the post. (By the way, Pat Sloan is a sweetheart… she is one of the nicest and most energetic quilters I have ever met.)


I made Leaves of Green using needleturn appliqué, but you could use a fusible or machine appliqué technique.  The 25 little 6" blocks are a perfect portable project, and the simple shapes are easy to appliqué, so it would be a great project for a beginner. 



 I quilted it with an overall leaf design to add lots of texture. 


Each month, Pat will be writing about another designer who is offering another free pattern. If you make the project and share your photos in the Flickr account set up for the Designer of the Month program, you have a chance to win fabulous packages of Aurifil thread! So please stay tuned… it is going to be fun! 


GIVEAWAY!
And to make it even more fun, I’m going to be giving away a pack of Aurifil minispools (shown above) each month when the new project is announced. Just leave me a comment here to tell me what you think of Leaves of Green, and I'll pull a name at random next Friday, Jan. 14 at noon. The sampler pack includes great colors in different weights.
We have a winner: Corinne from upstate NY!

    I love the way the quilting both echoes and emphasizes the leaf motif. The beauty of the quilt stems from a mix of soothing blues, vivid greens and a splash of red/pink.

    Congratulations! I really like your Leaves of Green quilt. It is a very simple pattern that you have elaborated upon very nicely. I especially like the quilting between each applique. Looking at how you quilted it -- after the applique, I think -- makes me remember how I need to slow down and be patient to achieve the look I am aiming for.

    I hope I win the thread -- have heard great things about Aurifil but never used any.

    Peace and Joy

    This is a lovely small quilt project, imminently portable, so you can work on it when you have an opportune moment. Colors are vibrant, and love that none of the leaves are the same, provides interest. Quilting is so appropriate, it could be nothing else.

    Leaves of Green is a cute quilt that with its smaller size I can see as either a topper or a wall hanging.
    It certainly perks up the day with all its color and stitching.
    I've downloaded the pdf in hopes of finding/making time in 2011 to make one for myself.

    Thanks the the inspiration

    Your "Leaves of Green" pattern may convince novice appliquers to take the plunge. I like that this is such a portable project. The quilting makes the leaves pop. You have thought of everything with this pattern that is both basic and visually interesting - something that is very hard to successfully combine.

    For some reason I have been focused on leaves and trees in my recent quilting - this would be a welcome project.

    The quilt is cute. I like the leaf design for the quilting. It has the same effect as stippling, but looks much simpler to do. Love you work and your blog!

    The quilting and the applique go together so amazingly. I have never seen that type of quilting. Congratulations!

    That is an awesome quilt. I like the idea of the six inch squares...just the perfect size for toting around in the purse.

    Love Leaves of green! The quilted leaves are wonderful and they really compliment the applique in the quilt.

    I love your Leaves of Green. The way the blue background makes the green come forward is great!

    I love your Leaves of Green design but especially like the background quilting motif which repeats the leaf shape.

    I love how the leaves are neatly stacked by color. The leaves in my yard are never so organized!

    I do a fair amount of fusable applique, but it's great to see the dimentionality one can achieve with needleturn applique. I may have to try that someday.
