Jane and Sharyn's Rows arrived together :o)
Thank you both so much, aren't I lucky to get two together? And aren't they great? Everything is looking very Christmassy around here, and I am decking the halls with boughs of holly and wishing you a merry little christmas now. okay I'll stop singing now :o) The design wall hangs in my living room so although I wont be able to complete the quilt in time for Christmas I will be able to ebjoy all the rows so far.
I am feeling very smug today, thank you both, thank you all :o)

Farmgirl's Leaves Row
I really enjoyed this row. The leaf design is from Compuquilt BUT the instructions were for making with templates (Who has time for that!!!) Soooo I have drawn up an 8" square and then cut all squares and half square triangles and pieced MOST of the block that way, the large point is paper-pieced (Just the 3 pieces) and then the squares were stitched by the quick piecing method. By doing it that way I found that I was able to cut fabric more efficiently and piece more time efficiently. For me the effect is probably better than if I had cut and pieced using the template patterns.
Including Jane's fabric, I also used 3 reds and a white on white in every block. I wanted the red on white print to make the leaves look as if they are in the process of skeletonising. (That Idea came because I had been thinking about working out in the garden, and I often find skeletonised or partially skeletonised leaves in the front garden.)
Hope you like the row Jane.

Linda, finally finished! Phew! I am pleased with how it turned out although you may wish to adjust the top row slightly, I'll leave it to you as it will depend on the length of the next row you are attaching to it.
Several of my rows are slightly different lengths so I'll be easing them together :o)
Pink tulips as requested :o) I hope you like them.
Now my next row id for Belle, hmmm, time to put my thinking cap on again.
