Sandy,
I didn't have a pattern for the leaf. I saw several on line that I liked and chose to draw this one in EQ7. Here's the size I chose because I already had lots and lots of 2 1/2" strips. The dimensions are the cutting sizes.

Love everyone's eye candy! Thanks, Evelyn, for the pattern for the leaf. I used your great directions to do a boot quilt and your pattern information was wonderful!

Evelyn, I agree that your leaf quilt is beautiful. Thanks so much for giving us your pattern.

Thanks Evelyn. I actually meant this colorful strippy one ....

I love this thread. Lots of lovely projects happening. Good work everyone.

Sorry, Sandy. Had so many problems finishing the leaves I forgot that one.

Our guild had a speaker demo this quilt and I couldn't wait to try it. I don't buy jelly rolls so cut my own. Since these florals are so large and I'm lazy, I cut them 3" wide. Using the method in the video I used 70 strips cut at 3" to get a queen size top. I made another since I'd cut too many strips. Then I cut some strips 3 1/2" wide and used about 95 strips to make my king size quilt. If the top isn't big enough you can add one strip at a time. If you're making the lap quilt with a jelly roll it takes about 40 minutes to make a top. Fast and color coordinated.

Thanks again Evelyn ... I have some big floral and wondered what to do with them. I think I know now. Your's really lovely.

Thanks, Sandy. I've been in love with large florals but used them mostly as borders. This one has a green border and the king size has a black with flowers. Wish I'd seen this when the state flower fabric was popular.

Oh yes the State flower fabrics would have been ideal ... maybe they'll come back soon. Thanks.
