Quilting the leaves on Hollyhocks Around the Barn Quilt.
All week, I've been thinking about how to quilt the leaves on this quilt. This morning, I scrolled through Pinterest looking at freemotion quilting patterns for leaves. Nothing seemed quite right for the hexagon shape representing leaves. Nothing worked until I got out paper and pencil and started doodling ...
And then it came ... so I drew it on a scrappy quilt sandwich and stitched it out.
Yes! This will work, and it's easy to stitch out, too!
I know: It's not really anything like actual Hollyhock leaves. These are more like plantains, but they are leafy!
Here it is on the longer leaves. Same but different.
There are a couple of oddball filler leaves that are a different shape. I'll have to figure out what to do with them, but not today ....
Next week, it's the flowers. Who-hooh!
