Judy recently taught a class on a simpler version of her winning quilt and I knew I had to take the class if only to have some of her massive talent rub off on me!
This is the quilt I made from the class. It is supposed to have another border and the leaves were supposed to be appliqued onto that border. I decided I didn't want to add that border, so I appliqued the leaves on the inner border. The outside edge is very narrow and needs a good pressing before I submit the quilt into our guild show. A day or two before the class I decided I wanted to do a pieced background for the Palmetto rather than use one fabric. I rather like the effect but all those seams ended up being a problem, so there isn't much quilting in that area. The quilt isn't really that out of square, I just pinned it to the wall to take the photo and didn't do it very well.
I wonder how many others from the class will submit quilts!

Wow, Corky! You know I Love it. I love your original approach to the pattern--very much making it your own--and I love your use of color. You are willing to take the bold step of not ever needing a box to get out of. I am always thrilled when I see that happen. Thanks for the VERY kind remarks about me. Why did it not surprise me that you had taken Barbara Olson's class?
VERY nice, Corky. I also am a fan of pieced backgrounds and think yours is very effective. Keep it up.
Corky - it came out fantastic - I knew it would - love love the red. If anyone wants to see some more of Corky's latest work - check out my blog as I just posted one of hers that I finished quilting. www.quiltingwithkaren.wordpress.com
