"Oak Leaves," Mountain Top Quilters' 2012 opportunity quilt, measures 89" x 89" square and is composed of
five appliqued leaf blocks and four pieced blocks set diagonally. These blocks are surrounded with a pieced leaf ribbon-like border.
The outer border is scalloped and pieced from fabrics used in the quilt.
The original opportunity quilt committee consisted of Sharon Watt, Joan Carrell, Linda Coppola, Kay Harlan, Kitty Lynch, and Linda Marley.
Additional helpers were Jeanne Vick, Jane Hofbauer and Marie Love.
Applique blocks were sewn by Sally Becker, Joyce Cummings,Sharon Heilman, Mary Andra Holmes and Barbara Merkel. Annette Ladehoff made the label,
and Carolyn Doyle did the quilt binding.
Longarm machine quilting was by Lynn Beck of Grammy’s Quilting.
Adapted from the design by Nancy Rink that appeared in the January 2009 issue of The Quilter Magazine,
the "Oak Leaves" pattern is used with her permission.
Carol Cooley and Charlene Coxworth are quilt marketing co-chairs.
