I’ve got just a few minutes to get this posted and entered into the awesome online Blogger’s Quilt Festival.
It always takes me forever to decide which quilt to enter into these fun online quilt shows…
But with fall in full swing here, I thought it should be autumnish!
This was one of my first quilts!
I got the leaf block pattern from a friend, who also helped me miter the corners of the border!
This was pre-free motion quilting, so it is simply stitched in the ditch!
At least this was post-“learning about a walking foot”!! (You should NOT see the backs of my pre- walking foot quilts!! LOL!! Pleats galore!!)
The backing is a soft buttery gold flannel…very toasty!! So is often fought over on cold nights in front of the TV!!
It was made in 2003 and is about
60” by 72”!
Make sure you check out all the other wonderful quilts in the Festival! They will really inspire you to get busy quilting!!
Such a pretty quilt!!

I love a good maple leaf! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful and that blue is so perfect for setting off the other colors. I'm with SewCalGal though, where's Yogi?
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful quilt. Perfect for this time of season.
ReplyDeleteIt was a real leap of faith to use the blue as your main color, but according to the photos it is very effective. Nice!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt. Love your fall leaves and use of colors. Glad to know I'm not the only one that has a hard time deciding what quilt to put in the show.
