Hello Autumn

Autumn is my favorite season.
I love all the colors of the changing leaves.
The crisp air.
I remember the huge piles of leaves
that we as kids would run and jump  in.


Maybe it's enjoying the comforts of home and
that would definitely include quilts.

Last week I finished up 


 Leaf Peepers
36" X 36"

It was inspired from Jo Morton's
newest book,
Jo's Little Favorites, II.
I enjoyed sewing autumn browns and
aspen golds together.

I had several choices that I thought
would work for the setting triangles.


I decided on the most subtle print
which is a rich warm maple red.

I quilted it as Jo suggested with 
a simple checkerboard grid using an
Aurifil #28 in Chestnut brown.


I love how the thread sits on top of the quilt
top and seems to add more texture.
I plan on using this weight of thread again.

This was a sweet quilt to stitch
and now it's ready to use.

Until Next time-
Kyle
