Well, the Fall Quilt is finished. I am glad that I "lost my way" with this quilt for the color palette is perfect; warm and cheerful on this rather rainy Friday morning. This quilt isn't just about the colors though, for on closer inspection there is much to see ... from animals, birds, flowers, to accessories, sewing notions, food and fruits. I love adding these little notes of interest to my quilts!
This is my idea of relaxing, easy sewing ~ allowing the fabrics to shine, the colors to play together, and the prints to tell a story. It isn't necessarily a quick process as I have to walk away from my design floor often, edit my fabric choices (and sometimes completely change my color palette), and revisit the stash.
I have quilted this quilt by ditch stitching all seam lines (creating an all over 2.5 inch grid of intersecting lines); simple and functional quilting, allowing the fabrics to feature, and adding just the right amount of texture to soften the quilt.
For the back of the quilt for I have again used my "go to" backing fabric which is Newsprint from the Paint collection by Carrie Bloomston, and matched it with my signature black/white stripe binding fabric.
This quilt is for sale and is listed in my Etsy Store.
