Aileyn Renli Ecob quilt in TCQC 11-04-12

I do love Aileyn's work, mostly done by hand, and here is another of her quilts. 
This one was purchased at the SAQA online auction in October of this year.

Oak leaves in the golden autumn colors, set off by dark brown bark and still some green leaves in the background.  I especially like the green fabric with the dots which adds some liveliness.  The other Aileyn quilt in TCQC is a Calla Lily.  I cannot find the post that shows just that quilt, but here is a picture of it and another Calla Lily quilt she showed at Pacific Int'l QFestival

It was a prize winner that year.

"Autumn Gold"  Aileyn Renli Ecob - Walnut Creek, CA   2012  12" X 12"
Cotton Fabric and thread.  Hand and machine sewing.  Machine quilted.  Fabric markers used.

Aileyn does beautiful handwork - her applique stitches are almost invisible.

And her hand quilting is small and even.

A nice deep sleeve with an extra quarter inch to accommodate those fat poles used at some quilt shows.

Nice to see the stitching on the back.  I believe this is a Marimekko fabric.

And a clearly written label with contacts.  I have added the date and the size.
