For Me!!!!
 

I was making a mini for the swap and it was all going VERY well.
Well? Once I started looking at it more, it seemed it would be nicer on a table, soooooo.......I am keeping this and making a different mini quilt.
I am finally keeping something for me! :) :) :)

Terri,
It's absolutely gorgeous!! :D
I can see why you are keeping
it for yourself. Once & awhile we
just need to do that!!
:D :D :D :D :D

That is so pretty! And, yes, you should keep it for yourself. Why not, woman? Very lovely, thanks for sharing.

Thanks!
I just couldn't wrap my brain around it being a doll quilt. Plus the fact that I just absolutely fell in love with it.

LOL Terri

By all means go ahead & keep this beauty for yourself, the colours are so scrummy I could eat it!
It's going to look perfect sitting on your table :wink:

Terri - I love it! The more I look at it the more complex the pattern becomes with those little triangular corners on the outer squares and the inner border and oh well I don't know how to really explain it - it's kind of deceptively simple or deceptively complex - one of those! Anyway, I love it! :D

Thanks!!!

It was more or less a design I made up.
The center square is 6 1/2 inches.
Around the square are flying geese that are done the Ricky Timms method. I had actually had an idea of doing a flying geese mini, but couldn't get it to look right to me.
So, I cut squares for the corners, sewed them to the flying geese, then to the center square. I liked how it looks like the center is just laying in there.
Then I figured it needed a border, so cut 1 1/2 and put that on. Then I thought that it needed something else. Had no clue, so made more flying geese, they didn't look right. Did some regular triangles, didn't look right. Then I remembered I bought a book that had borders in it and found the border that you see with the little triangles. It's really easy to do. I screwed up on the cutting (it was about 5am at the time.)
The squares are to be 3 inches with the smaller ones 2 1/2. Sew the smaller ones opposite each other, then cut off excess. and you have your new square. Then sew them together and there you go!
Got that on and said..ok, it needs something else, so decided that I would use the striped fabric on the outside.
So, there you have it.
And no...I cannot do a tute on it because I'm really NOT sure of the sizes that I cut. All sizes are approximate. I didn't finish it until around 6:30am. Yes, I was up all night making it. Had tv on and just didn't realize the time. Guess I need a clock in my room, huh?

Very nice. Will remiand you of fall in New England. We all need to keep some thing we make.

I think 'make it up as you go along' designs are often the best! I have to try those RickyTimms FGs too! :D

it looks great

Gorgeous, Terri! I'm ready for Fall!

It's a beauty Terri. Perfect for the fall season.

I love this pattern - did you design it. I think the squares with the triangles at opposite corners are interesting and look really neat in the overall design.

Yes, I designed the pattern.
I posted pretty much what I did, so ya'll can try to figure it out.
The flying geese are from Ricky Timm's method and I think that's what gives it a certain look because the middle stands out a bit.
The squares on the corners are just 3 inch squares, I think.
I SITD around the corner squares, the middle squares, the middle border and that was it. Since it's for ME, I didn't really do much on it.

I did notice that looking at it closer, I should have turned the bottom border the other way. Oh well.......

Looks great!!
Love the pattern!

I love it! No wonder you are keeping it it's perfect.

Now this will set the mood for fall.

Beautiful!!!

It's a beauty! You are right to keep it for yourself! I love decorating for fall.

I like decorating for fall best, then Christmas and then my snowmen collection comes out in January and by the time they melt away in March I am stumped as to how to decorate for the next six months!! This will be my first winter retired in the newly renovated house so I guess I will have to come up with something!!

Enjoy your autumn table topper!

Great, don't blame you at all for keeping that. Makes you think FALL, to go along with the cool evenings and mornings we are having.

I absolutely love it! I can see all of my cats lying on it! LOL

love it!!! The fall fabric is awesome. Another one ofyour Ben Franklin finds? :D :D

Never work on a clock! I have been up all night as well working on something I just love. It is beautiful, love the colors, just right for this upcoming season!

ooooooooooooooo that is gorgeous. i can see why you wanna keep it for yourself

Looks nice. It definitely belongs on a table, rather than a doll quilt. I like it. :D

Gorgeous!!!

That is awesome. I just love fall colors. And your fabrics a wonderful. Great job.

As always, your work is outstanding!! And I think you soooo deserve a treat once in awhile :) :)

And there's no one more deserving! Your quilt is gorgeous! Enjoy!

Very pretty- it will look great on your table!

Hey Terri, I LOVE this, great colours and design and it's about time you made something just for you!! :D

Just beautiful Teri, I love the fabrics and the colors.

No, not Ben Franklin on that fabric.
Bought it last year on one of my trips into Hawaii. Got it at Walmart.

Thanks all....I just love the colors on it.
Wasn't sure about it when I bought the colors, but wanted something fallish in my stash.
Hubby saw it last night when he came home from work and says...you are giving that away? Said...NOPE! IT'S MINE!! :) :)

Terri,
This little table quilt is so prefect for your fall decoration. I am glad you are keeping it for yourself. A woman's right to change her mind is alway is always a good thing. Right?

So pretty !! I love fall colors.

I'd be keeping that for myself too - it's gorgeous!!! Love how you put it all together too! Am going to have to look for a book on borders! Your's are awesome!!

Terri.. It is stunning ! I am not a fall color type of person, but you make it work wonderfully :mrgreen: I don't blame you for keeping it
