SandyinCO Autumn Winds - This is the second small quilt I have made as a member of an Art Quilt Challenge Club. I love Autumn - its colors, the shapes of the leaves, and the smells. I especially love it when gusts of wind come along, pick up some leaves and swirl them around in the air. I couched copper-colored metallic cord to depict the swirls of the wind and echo quilted along the cords. Each leaf is two leaves fused together, and the stems are stems from real leaves left in my yard last fall. The leaves are attached only at the base of each leaf.
