I did it. I forced myself to finish one more of those "stuffed away in a bin forever" quilts. I really wanted this one done because fall is approaching quickly and this has all of those golds and reds and browns that really only work this time of year. Especially on a tree.
I used the Mosaic Tiles pattern out of the Modern Bee book. At least that's what I started with back when I started piecing it. When it was time to lay out the individual blocks, I couldn't find the book on the shelf at the library again and tried to figure it out by looking at the various ones online. Not sure that the one I copied was the same as the original but it's close.
Over Labor Day weekend I found a flannel at JoAnn (on sale) that just needed to be on the back. It kinda looks like a grandma couch but also just seemed to work with the colors and the vibe of the rest of the quilt.
I have one more quilt left on my list of goals for the 3rd quarter, but that one may carry over to the next group. I have another one ready to quilt, probably by hand, and would rather just take my time with it. I have added the Fall Leaves quilt to my Etsy shop--and it's on sale!! From now until November 1, all purchases over $150 can use the coupon code 20FALL2015 for 20% off. I have a growing pile of large quilts that need to move off of my shelf and onto someone's lap!

ReplyDeleteOh I love this. Reminds me of what I did this week. I was #100 at Crazy Moms. I'd love you to come over and link your post at The Fabulous Fall Linky Party! Click on the leaf on my sidebar to go directly to this weeks party. The party goes all the way to Halloween. So if you have Fall themed posts come on over any time!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is lovely; isn't is satisfying to finish something that has been 'waiting' for a long time? You are doing way better than me with your 3rd quarter list - I don't think I have finished anything on mine yet (I keep getting distracted by doing projects that weren't on the list!)

ReplyDeletei really like the diagonal orientation of the lines in these squares. it creates wonderful movement for the eye. i usually keep lines parallel with the sides but i'm really impressed with yours.
ReplyDeleteWow - such a great finish!
