Croton Quilt: Adding More Leaves
I’m still enjoying working with my colorful croton quilt. I’ve added a red leaf on the left.

I couldn’t decide whether the fuschia leaf or the orange one (center) should go in front. I fully constructed each one, so I’d have maximum flexibility down the road.
A yellow-green leaf front at center adds interest.
Or does it? I thought I could just work it loosely, for color. But, I see that it’s going to need the full treatment.
Since the veins are not visible yet, I think it’s hard to tell which leaves are folded and which are open. I auditioned a black edge to help with that, but have since decided against it.

Thanks so much for taking us all along on your design journey. I’m enjoying watching your process 🙂
Keep up the good work, it is turning out spectular. Lucky to live in Florida, and see these in the landscapes,
