I made this quilt for my Mom & Dad's 50th Anniversary. I appliquéd the leaves and then hand embroidered around each and embroidered all the children and grandchildren's names on the leaves. There are five children, so each branch is a family with their spouse and children. There are lots of extra leaves around each branch as well for the families to grow and great-grandchildren to be added. The trunk of the tree has my parents names in two hearts. My parents loved it!
