Leaves are falling in Texas
 

It all started when the shelves of my bookcase in the sewing room fell and all my books were everywhere. Well I found some Holiday books and was looking through them and found a leaf pattern. (any pattern will do) and decided to make a table runner. Well needless to say that went into a oversize lap quilt. it was fun. I just appliqued (by machine) on a off white on white piece of material. Then I decided to put the leaves over the border.[ATTACH=CONFIG]363355[/ATTACH]

This is all scraps also. Everyone here makes some wonderful quilts from scraps I decided to try this.
Thanks for looking.

Lovely, just wonderful, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

I want one just like it!!:) Such a fun idea. I'm so ready for fall, Leaves and all!

Great quilt!!! Hurray....I survived another Texas summer.....it's time for fall leaves :)

I love the fall and I love your quilt. Very nicely done.

I love it and it is a gorgeous fall scrappy!!

Great quilt. Love the way you extended the applique into the borders.

Fall leaves in such pretty colors just falling all over the place is such a cute idea. Great job.

I really like this! Great use of scraps!

Great! And perfect for fall in the northern states. Nice job!

My Mom and late Grandmother made a wedding quilt for my late little Brother and SIL with patterns gathered from leaves in their home town. I inherited those patterns; seeing your quilt makes me want to pull them out and make a quilt to remind me of my family. Your quilt is beautiful! I like the leaves appliqued over the edge of the borders.

Your quilt is great! :)
Now if that had happened to me, the books would still be all over the floor while I worked on the quilt, LOL! I'm sure *you* straightened your room before you began like a good girl.:thumbup:

Love it!!!!!

Very pretty!

I think maple leaves are so beautifully colored in the fall. My favorites for sure. Pretty translation onto a quilt.

Love this quilt. I'm a fall person. Great job!:thumbup:

looks great!

aaaaheheheheh Jan you are to funny., yes I did clean up first. but before that I hauled some to the living room and sat and looked through them first. lol

Howdy, haven't seen or talked with you for quite awhile! Love the falling leaves! so inspired I would have just cried that my books fell! You are so creative with adding the leaves outside the center and all scraps, wow! Have only been to JoAnns twice since the remodeling, been trying to stay away and save money! I'm not used to the arrangement and get too tired trying to find what I want. Have you checked out the Hip Stitch shop yet? Lovely folks & lots of cute ideas. Hope tosee you sometime soon.

very nice....

Beautiful.

Very nice !

Beautiful quilt and just in time for Autumn. Love it!

Love, love, love it, Delta! The leaves on the boders are a nice touch.:)

Wow! That is a great leaf pattern. They look so detailed. Plus having them run over and into the border gives it a lot of character. I love it.

Oh! I so agree!!

very pretty....i like it a lot!

Beautiful! Looks like maple leaves. I went to a Quilt Guild mtg. once in Waco. Was very enjoyable.
I lived in Temple then.

So pretty, and great use of some scraps! :)

very nice!!!!!

Lovely quilt. Great idea with the leaves in the border. Thanks for posting.

Love it!! I reminds me of growing up in the Minnesota country side!!!

Turned out really pretty.

Love the leaves and the whole quilt is quite lovely!

I love how you carried the leaves into the border. Very clever and it looks beautiful. I am sooo ready for fall. It is the most beautiful day here in SC.

Another great way to use scraps! Thanks for sharing.

Very pretty -- and nice to know i'm not the only one whose projects start out one way and end up another !! Loving that the days and nights are cooler here in the Heart of Texas !!!!!

I love your quilt.
