Each ginkgo leaf is different, just like the ones blowing off the tree in my neighbor's yard.
I used a variegated 40 wt thread that shows up nicely against most of the blocks.
There are 42 of these 8" squares and I have the leaves going every which way across the top. Next, I plan on quilting the smaller white squares with another organic type shape, a loose interpretation of a flower. ITIS is the name of my quilting game--I'll Try It & See. Practicing only goes so far!

Brilliant ginko leaves ! They look awesome Annie.
Your ginko leaves look just like all the ones that are falling in my neighborhood! They are such a pretty yellow!

Your leaves look wonderful!
I like that so much! What a perfect way to quilt that quilt.
I love the Ginkgo leaves, Annie! I see them all over our town and would love to have a tree in my yard for the beautiful fall color, but not the raking of the leaves! Your quilting is perfect!
Cheers!
