I am imagining you are talking about a Kwikee quiver that already has a plastic hood, and you are wanting to dress it up?
I think you can get a good pattern for your quiver hood by wrapping the hood with some cling wrap and tape.  You can then split up both sides of the quiver and have a very close pattern.
similar to this idea -

There is a video by 3Rivers that has some good information about applying and stitching a leather grip.   It covers some of the natural stretch in the leather and stitching.

I have done a leather grip this way.  I think the Idea is similar.  It should be a fun project.
