And I am digging your yellows more and more. I think because you have all those different shades of yellow. The yellow orange leaves especially; they capture autumn sunshine. Are your hexie stars paper pieced? What are you using for the papers? I tried to EPP a block with similar long, skinny points and the cardstock I was using kept bending and distorting at the skinny points.Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-80018722380204636762017-06-28T08:54:33.532-07:002017-06-28T08:54:33.532-07:00Love the leaf spray LeeAnna!

It may be that some quilters just aren't bold enough to use much of it. For that reason, they try to convince the rest of us that it should be used sparingly.
