I finished this quilt last June, which is when I enlisted a couple of friends to help me take a picture one evening outside a bar on a desolate block west and south of the loop. I like the quilt a lot, but wasn't sure I liked the picture. All summer I was thinking I might find another time to take some more pictures and have more choices for a posting. But now it is early November, and the quilt is already in heavy use on my sofa keeping my toes covered every night while I watch my movies, I realize the moment for making pictures is gone. The detail in the center of each maple leaf is a fabric yoyo gathered tight until it is more a fabric button, then slip-stiched flat to the top layer of the quilt.
