An Indian Summer Quilt

It's that time again!
A finished quilt and a reflection of the gorgeous Autumn weather we've enjoyed this week, although I hear it will be short-lived with much cooler conditions expected to arrive just in time for the weekend.


As you can see I've had a wonderful time not only with the fabric selection process but also with the quilting of this quilt.  I started by stitching the vertical lines just over a 1/2 inch apart and then continued on to also quilt horizontal lines, thereby creating a crisscross of parallel lines.   I wish I could easily convey to you the lovely texture and drape of this quilt created by the dense quilting grid.


For the back of the quilt I have used one of my favorite prints from the Flea Market Fancy Legacy Reprint fabric collection :: Leaf & Dot in Grey :: by Denyse Schmidt.  The grey complements the tone and feel of the quilt and is further completed by the use of grey/white stripe fabric for binding (From Little Things by Sarah Fielke).
This one is all about the fabrics, the colors, and the quilting. I have thoroughly enjoyed working from stash to create this quilt!  As usual, I have updated my Etsy Store.  The listing for this quilt can been can be found here:  Modern and Colorful Patchwork Quilt.  SOLD

Thank you for stopping by!
