Here's another of my fall quilts that I just brought out for the season. It was made of leftover strips, my Mom gave me the border fabric for my birthday that year. You'll see that I cut out a couple of motifs and raw edge appliqued them to the inner border to give more of an effect of the fields being at the edge of town. I fmq the blocks by starting in one corner and wiggly lining it all the way over to the other corner without one stop, took maybe 30-40 minutes to quilt the blocks, the border is outlined quilted around the motifs.

Really great looking Fall quilt. Love the added motifs, really makes the quilt special and interesting and live up to it's name.
Also liked the way you quilting it, corner to corner, makes good sense and quicker too. May in Jersey

Very pretty quilt. I have that same fabric as your border & piecing in the back. It's perfect for the fall.

I especially like your unique touches: The appliques tie everything together so nicely, and the offset design of the backing gives another lovely display choice.
