A Hint of Autumn

 According to the calendar and

and the view outside it is still Autumn

here in Colorado.

Yes, we've had one snow flurry and 

it won't be long before we have more, but 

for the moment,

if I show you a new fall quilt

it is still in the seasonal boundaries.

Pumpkins and Blossoms

66" x 78"

This quilt is an example of a perfect quilting storm.

My LQS was having a sale,

I bought a layer cake of Fig Tree's fabric,

Pumpkins and Blossoms,

and I had this pattern from

Fat Quarter Shop,

and FQ Shop also had yardage of 

the Fig Tree fabric.

I had not bought a group of fabric

for a very long time.

I'm not sure what possessed me to do it 

this time, but the soft oranges and green vines,

charcoal greys and black and frolicking deer

 just spoke to me.

It is one of Joanna's classic vintage Autumn lines.

The pattern is simple and easy

to whip together some fun blocks

using a layer cake and charm pack.

I added some borders to make the quilt a bit larger

and had my fabulous machine quilter

stitch an overall pumpkin and vine design.

It was a fun quilt to stitch from start to finish

using a single collection.

I just put the sewing on cruise control and

let it all happen.

Until Next Time-
