Terri, I love your leaf quilt. Gorgeous fall colors. Well done!

Janice, yummy fabric! What do you envision with it?

Billi 08-09-2016 02:22 PM

Terri it is beautiful I love fall leaves your sashing is perfect for them.

It was Traveling Grandma that did the neutral quilt. I remember because it was one I had a very difficult time staying with her request. I kept trying to put more color in it. You're right it really did come out beautiful.

Well, Terriamn, didn't this turn out well! Lots of pretty autumn colors. TFS!

Very pretty choice Janice, lots of great colors.

Well I did it, finally put together a top made from my millions of swaps. This was a fall leaf swap

I know right if that is rusty I can't imaging the circles she can run around me when she's in prime condition.....

Not quite pastel, huh? It's also a larger print than I normally select but so be it. It makes me happy just looking at it. This is a fabric I used in a block swap last year. (Jaba, I think you might have a block made with this.) I loved it then but I didn't have much. Lo and behold, tucked in a corner, there it was. So I think I'll sash it in greens or possibly greens and the background cream to tone it down a bit. Don't know yet. But, decision finally made on the main fabric. Woo hoo! Time to prep it. :)

Oh my that is so pretty!!!! Yep I want to play with that one for sure.

So do you have a pattern for the boots or did you make them yourself from boot pictures? I really like this and will be putting it on my bucket list. I know a few cowgirls that would love it.

Love the way this turned out. I have seen the falling leaves patterns and have wanted to do one but maybe I'll try something like this instead.

ok I got a question. Is there a trick I don't know about or forgot that takes you back to where you left off after posting a reply? It seems every time I reply to a post, I'm left on the reply page and have to click on the thread link at the top to get back to the messages so then I have to start all over and hopefully remember where I left off. So sometimes I miss stuff.

Great reply Ibex.

Thanks everyone, sure was fun to put together something rather then just make blocks

i love the sashing fabric also. I'm really trying not to buy more fabric but if I could find the deep purple that is in the sashing then I would add a border
