Hi everyone. This is the Autumn Leaves tablerunner by Eleanor Burns from http://www.bighornquilts.com . Just search for 'Autumn Leaves by Eleanor Burns' and it comes up.

It was pretty fun, although it was kind of hard getting my leaf points to look ok. Even though it's a tablerunner, I put a sleeve on it just in case I want to hang it up.

Very pretty, love your fabrics

Rachelcb80 04-02-2010 05:13 AM

Very pretty! I love your fabric choices! I think I would hang it as well, just too pretty to lay on a table. :)

What a beautiful wallhanging to put in your entry in the autumn! Also, it could set off a beautiful Thanksgiving table - You win 2 ways. :D

Oh hey I love the shading effect that the fabric gives to the leaves. Cool runner/hanging!

I love that pattern. I wanted to make it as well however, it does not have a template or anything on how to cut the leafs/tail feathers. Maybe I am missing something or too new at quilting to figure it out. Could you help?

fliedermaus 07-04-2010 11:24 AM

It's lovely, the fabrics you chose for the leaves were perfect!

NewYearsOld 07-04-2010 11:54 AM

I cut all the pieces out with a normal 6 x 24 ruler, except for the leaf stems which are appliqued on. Did you read through the whole pattern? I can't remember for sure, but I think she has you cut out the leaf points about halfway into the pattern.

toucanbear 07-07-2010 09:38 AM

thanks, no there r no directions for the leafs. I guess because it was free it is only part of a pattern. I looked back through the pattern. It is omly 2 pages. Did you have the pattern/book?

babs92940 07-07-2010 09:53 AM

Yes, I had the pattern. I got it from here:
http://www.bighornquilts.com/cgi-bin...ywords=qid1260
It also comes with a 4 1/2" on-point ruler, which is why it's not as cheap. You can also make a four-leaf tablerunner, or a four-leaf wallhanging from the same pattern.

I love the colors and the blocks.

anicra 07-07-2010 12:02 PM

Very nice. I made one years ago and it's still one of my favorites. There's just something about autumn colors Smart idea with the sleeve on the back!

toucanbear 07-07-2010 03:35 PM
