I can only imagine you sitting at your machine, with the photo next to you, carefully stitching then checking the shadows and tones in the photo and repeating over and over. You did a great job!

Wisteria/jacaranda blues and chartreuse are one of my favourite colour combos (I may well have chosen it as my palette if we hadn't already had chartreuse) so this quilt made my heart skip a beat.kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11458267354320757761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-29822727763687623032011-04-12T14:37:27.119-07:002011-04-12T14:37:27.119-07:00Diane, you captured the leaves from the photograph...Diane, you captured the leaves from the photograph brilliantly.

The colors are gorgeous, and your stitching is well done.
