Pat made me do it!

I emailed Pat Sloan a couple of weeks ago because I was struggling with the quilting design for the "I Believe " quilt I made from her book.
She of course rendered some good advice but also suggested that I purchase her machine quilting book.
Well, after going through my stack of Pat Sloan books, I saw that I did not own that one so off I went to buy it.
I immediately read the book which has loads of great advice but it also has some easy to follow patterns.
I wanted to make the leaf quilt on the new Quilt magazine that is out but once I hand appliqued 1 block of 4, I knew that it would take an eternity.
So using Pat's new book, I saw the layout for this wall hanging and it worked perfectly with the leaf blocks I had just appliqued.
The pattern was so simple and precise that I pieced it in 2 days of which in my time is about 5 hours total.
I am so pleased with it and I loved appliqueing the leaves so much that I made four smaller ones for each corner.
I will have the binding up tonight hopefully up by this weekend.
A big thank you for Stephanie from Loft creations for her advice on the quilting motifs.
