Thanks everyone for the compliments - the quilt is paper pieced and the pattern is called Indian Summer.
I've had it a long time - I downloaded it free from the internet and have been waiting to make into a quilt; this months theme was the perfect opportunity - Lynnie25 and now Sienna's GiGi are the only two recipients of quilts I have ever made using paper pieced method. It's what I love about these small quilts - you can practice a new method without getting overwhelmed by the process.
