A finished quilt ~ I love patchwork! Simple patchwork and pretty fabrics are at the top of my "favorite things" list. This quilt is all of that, with lots of fabrics stash basics, pretty floral fabrics, vintage fabrics as well as Liberty Tana Lawn. This is what my happy sewing looks like.

The finished squares measure 2.5" x 2.5" and I have quilted the quilt by ditch-stitching (from edge to edge) all seam lines, then stitching a single vertical and horizontal line through the center of each square, in effect creating an all over 1.25" grid. I did not use a quilting guide to keep the lines straight as with such small squares I can quite accurately gauge the center line without the use of a quilting guide simply by keeping my eye on the outer edges of the walking foot and the seam lines.

For the back of the quilt I have used a single fabric from the Country Girls collection by Tasha Noel. And for binding I have used another fabric favorite, my signature black and white stripe fabric by Timeless Treasures.

    1. Thank you for stopping by! I use 100% cotton batting usually Matilda's Own brand. I use both bleached white (for quilts with a lot of white/light background fabric) and unbleached cotton batting.

  9. Question for you: Do you wash your quilts before sending them off? I have always tended to in the past but sometimes wonder if I should send them unwashed.

  11. Delightful! And I love the freshness of the backing fabric and binding. Perfect choices all round. I'm inspired to go check my stash/scrap pile and start my own...

  12. As always I just love your work. When I first saw the title "Autumn Quilt", I quickly clicked on to see what goodie you had produced this time. Autumn is my favorite season. I thought of all the russets, browns, and oranges that is autumn as we know it here in the US would be so out of your normal color palettes. Thus the excitement of what you could have conjured up. I did scratch my head a little and thought maybe autumn in your neck of the woods is different. Maybe you could educate us. Regardless, it's a beaut!
