Falling with autumn splendour, creating shade from the summer sun, growing in vines up and over fences - leavez are a simple image but a very useful one. In wonderfully easy Stargazey Style here are Leavez that are both simple and quick to cut and piece. They can be made in three block sizes - 4”, 6” and 8” - with a further choice of whether you would like them to be stitched ‘straight’ or ‘on point’. Setting choices are as varied as there are gardens. I have made my sample into sets of upright single-stem plants. You may prefer your Leavez to wander vine-like as a border, have them tumbling randomly earthbound in all sizes and variations, or set up to record your family tree. My scrappy green Leavez are set against a fresh spring sky. You could think of the different seasons, think of different lights, think of different plants and different places. Most of all, think about stitching a copious pile of them! This PDF quilting pattern includes full fabric requirements, cutting instructions and step-by-step assembly guidance. You may customise it to your desired quilt size.
