This is all hand quilted shadow quilting around the leaves I don't think you can see it on here.. in the border I traced a leaf off a atree my husband planted and and put a scroll down the sides and traced the leaves to attach to the scroll.

I don't think your sons quilt is ugly just manly! I think your quilts are wonderful!

All of your work is very nice. Your son's quilt is like an I Spy-so many interesting pictures to look at. I really like your leaf quilt and your quilting on it sounds great. Lori

I love all of your projects but I agree with you that the sons quilt is not my cup of tea but what is important is how much he loves it and you did do a beatiful job sewing it. You obviously have a satisfied and proud son because he keeps telling you that his friends want it. That is what it is all about....

Thanks for sharing these. Guys see things through a different pair of eyes! I know as I raised two sons! LOL They too, like the outdoors look and I am in the middle of making an outdoors quilt. It is taking me forever as I have to force myself to work on it. A true gift of love.
