About 10 years ago, upon seeing a blanket I had recently completed, my step-dad commented on how he liked how the squares came together to appear as if they were layered tiers. His comment inspired me to make a blanket for him to use in his office while napping between clients. He enjoys being in nature: has taken several extended canoe trips, has had all kinds of backpacking and camping experiences, enjoys hiking with my mom, and has even published a couple books on wilderness experiences. So I wanted his blanket to reflect nature as much as possible in color and theme. I'm not sure I really nailed it on the colors, haha, but the leaf lace seemed like a perfect fit. The blanket incorporates 8 sampler squares, of which Celebration Leaves! is one. When I originally learned leaf-lace, I knew I someday wanted to incorporate it into a design in some way, and the lace and bobble patterning between the leaves reminds me of trumpets blowing to celebrate nature, hence the name: Celebration Leaves! (don't forget the exclamation point).
The blanket itself is called Squares Dancing in Harmony and is, as of this writing, only available on Ravelry, but it is also free there as well.
