I made 5 squares of scrappy maple leaves...one yellow, green, brown, orange and red...They have light background and I need help on how to put them together and what to sash with or border...I want a table runner...but can't seem to find just the right fabric. I still have plenty of the background fabric but the leaves were made from scrapes.
Thanks for your suggestions...I will try to add a picture in a few minutes. |
What about the fabric with leaves in it to border it in? They've got some beautiful stuff out there right now!
|
Do you have pics of your leaves? I too think a autumn border with leaves in it would look great but would like to see pic's of the leaves you made.
|
need to see the leaves for inspiration...
|
Depending on the size of your blocks, what about putting them on point with setting triangles?

Thanks for your suggestions...I will try to add a picture in a few minutes. The red is a darker red, bluer red than the pic portrays I think I have found a brown tone on tone to use as a background...but would love to hear arrangement ideas and any color background ideas. |
I would use tan or beige background. I would stagger the leaves. They are realy cool by the way. Make it simple. Brown background would work too. How big are those blocks by the way?
|
These would be so cute set with log cabin blocks in the fall colors.
|
The blocks are 8 inches...can't remember is they have been squared up yet. The color is going to get sewed on.
They were paper pieced so I think they are square now. thanks for the suggestions....keep them coming. |
