Ruth B. McDowell is one of my very favorite quilters. This quilt was made as a sample in Ruth's book, Piecing Workshop, which taught her methods of piecing, including piecing very small curves. The instructions called for inserting a 2" square in the center of the quilt. I happened to have a some alphabet prints that I pieced together to form the word "LEAF", and inserted into the quilt center. I learned a lot making this quilt. Thank you, Ruth.
