Fourth weekend of October!
 
5 Attachment(s)
I've been working on a quilt from a pattern called Third Weekend of October off and on for the last 6 months. I had thought I might be able to get this top done last weekend but I chose the fabric for the border too late, it didn't arrive in time. So this is my Fourth Weekend of October quilt!

This was the first time I did paper piecing or a quilt with lots of HST. I would not necessarily recommend this quilt to a beginner, not that it was too hard but that my stash is not very large. I had to repeat fabrics more often than I would like throughout the quilt. This would be a good pattern to use up scraps but those of us only quilting a few years don't have enough for a true scrappy quilt.

The leaves here in Boston look nice still, much better than last year where we got a snowstorm the last weekend of October!

Wow! I just LOVE it!! There is no way I would think you didn't have a large enough stash to make it truly scrappy!! Good Job!

Your stash yielded a beautiful quilt. It'd also be perfect as a lovely seasonal wallhanging, besides being a colorful addition to any bedroom or other room decor. Very nice work.

LOVE that quilt!!! It reminds me of a painting on my wall called "Forest Floor" that I got from a little gallery in Evergreen CO. I think this quilt would be awesome as my fire place cover and I'm going to check out the pattern site.

Very nice!! Thanks for sharing!

Great! They make a wall hanging size as well called "New Leaves".

I love it! The colors that you chose help make each neighboring leaf stand out. It's awesome! Congratulations!

Your fall leaf quilt is very pretty! And you are lucky there is no color left on any of our leaves, most are off the trees.

HillCountryGal 10-27-2012 06:08 PM

You have way more patience than me! Think I would probably go crazy before I could finish something that complicated. You did an amazing job. Really pretty.

love to sew 10-27-2012 08:59 PM

wow, it is great. Looks very hard, don't know how you did it. Did you need a desing wall to do it?

love to sew 10-27-2012 09:00 PM

What leaves, none dropping here in Phoenix yet.

BETTY62 10-27-2012 09:09 PM

SheriR 10-27-2012 09:09 PM

I read your description on my iPhone then scrolled down to see your picture and was stunned! I showed it to my hubby and he said, "It looks just like a carpet of leaves." Very very nice job!
