Going back to my piecing roots I am currently echo quilting a 56In Madrone leaf with my Mid-arm Handi-Quilter that I am currently “taming”.
I have added some hand quilting to my own hand dyed leaf & tying threads as well. I’m not sure how to hang this yet as I have several ideas that I am exploring. This is the pieced leaf prior to quilting. The lower picture is the beginning of the process. I will post after I have finished the whole leaf & have trimmed it! I find this exciting! 
Found your blog
Interesting leaf
Keep going
