In Florida we have to make our fall leaves!

Finally finished fall Tabletopper I started when my sister and I had our own quilt retreat this summer. This is my take on an Eleanor Burns pattern. My sister made the rectangle version. I may have left Michigan with DH right after we married in '78, but I miss the leaves and Real football weather still. Thanks for looking.

Very pretty. Love the colours.

janedee 10-05-2013 10:56 PM

Some of our trees are starting to look like your quilt - beautiful. How on earth did you do the leaves around the border they look so realistic

rootyr 10-06-2013 01:45 AM

That is awesome!

WTxRed 10-06-2013 02:04 AM

That's really pretty! Love your color & fabric selections.

Cybrarian 10-06-2013 02:07 AM

Janedee, It is a border print I purchased a few years ago and had been waiting for the right project to use. That's why I fell in love with it, the leaves are so real looking almost like a photograph. Thanks!

Beautiful! Looks just like michigan right now!! Ive made mug rugs like that too!

giquilt 10-06-2013 02:39 AM

Nanny's dollface 10-06-2013 03:01 AM

This is a beautiful quilt! Reminds me of the colors of fall in New England.

gabeway 10-06-2013 03:08 AM

Sew very pretty for fall or anytime. Luscious colors.

nunnyJo 10-06-2013 04:24 AM

grannie cheechee 10-06-2013 04:27 AM

Beautiful work!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just think you can have the fall leaves, and not have to rake them. LOL

Jackie Spencer 10-06-2013 04:37 AM

That is beautiful! Autumn is my favorite season. Love all the colors and the border is fantastic!!

I also miss seeing the fall season in Mich. and the every green trees (or Christmas trees as I used to call them), but not the snow

cowgirlquilter 10-06-2013 04:49 AM

That is stunning!!!!!!!

GKSM 10-06-2013 04:50 AM

Oh so beautiful! The colors are wonderful and the quilting sets it off beautifully.

Cybrarian 10-06-2013 04:50 AM

Hey nabobw I'm up the road from you in Largo- at least we have hibiscus all year round! Big difference is my big poinsettia lives on my porch!

susie337 10-06-2013 04:56 AM

Beautiful! It's starting to look like that here, too. Love your colors, and your border quilting.

mighty 10-06-2013 06:29 AM

Really beautiful!

Surfergirl 10-06-2013 07:39 AM

I'm originally from Pa, and I do miss the fall foliage, but that's about all I miss...love it here in Florida. I love your fall wall hanging.

Luv Quilts and Cats 10-06-2013 07:41 AM

Very beautiful! I live in NH and the leaves are starting to turn. My favorite time of the year and except for my repro 20s and 30s, fall colors seem to make up the majority of my stash!

Mdegenhart 10-06-2013 07:43 AM

Very pretty, and laughing about Florida. In N. Texas our leaf cycle is that they burn to a crisp then fall off also.

hikingquilter 10-06-2013 07:48 AM

Beautiful colors. Love the border.

tessagin 10-06-2013 07:49 AM

Love your table topper! I'm in agreement with you. Originally from Indiana, I miss the seasons. Today is very cool compared to yesterday weather wise. In the 60s. Also wanted to note the way you have your table topper displayed is how I hang my display/design wall. Easily transportable and you can make it any size you want.

tessagin 10-06-2013 07:51 AM

Love your quilting also by the way! Looks just like grape vines spirals and loops. Very Autumn appropriate!

MamaBear61 10-06-2013 08:35 AM

It is beautiful, the colours are so rich.

RedGarnet222 10-06-2013 08:53 AM

Love your Leaf wall hanging. How pretty.
