I am using a deep tone-on-tone brown from my stash as the background for the leaf blocks. The color I call "creek bottom brown". It is the exact color as the bottom of the creek complete with the leaves printed on it. I bought it after I saw a beautiful scene one winter day. On the creek was the most beautiful ice I'd ever seen. It had a scalloped edge that resembled eyelet lace. Along shore there was red-twig dogwood, golden dried grasses and the white snow. I thought that could be inspiration for someone that did applique. That's Not me. And no, I didn't have my camera with me that day.
So why I got the brown, I don't know. Now I have this luscious batik from Cathy Boo. I'm toying with the idea of using it with the leaves in a medallion set. I'll need to make a few more block before I can play with settings. Maybe later this week.

What a delicious batik! The scattered leaves really do make this reminiscent of a creek on a fall day.
