Autumn Dreams Quilt

This post is linked to: From Bolt to Beauty,   Alycia Quilts, and Confessions of a Quilt Addict.

and Quilting is more fun than housework.

In early January I made a list of quilting goals and making a Fall quilt was on that list.  AND I actually completed it!

Here is "AUTUMN DREAMS":

Also on my list of goals was to just use what I have on hand in my quilt making this year.  I already had each fabric in this quilt.  It is made of lots of scraps, fat quarters, etc.  There are a few fabrics that appear only once or twice in the whole quilt.

I pieced the backing.  This leaf fabric was perfect, but I didn't quite have enough.  The problem was solved by sewing strips on both ends.

It was a windy day, but no rain!!!!

Here is a close up of the backing.

Stats:

30 blocks 

Block size: 13 inches wide. (finished)

Inner border: 2 inches wide. (finished)

Outer pieced border 5 1/2 inches wide made by sewing various lengths together (finished)

Finished quilt size:  80 inches wide; 94 inches long

This Fall I plan to put this quilt on a bed and put decorative fall pillows on it.  I'm thinking of making my own pillow cases to match.

So this is the fourth quilt in a row I have made using this pattern.  I am sure I will get tired of it soon..... but I may continue on.  The next one will be a Christmas Quilt!
