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! |
Gorgeous quilt. A beautiful pattern and gorgeous colours
|
it's gorgeous.
|
I love your quilt. Where did you get the pattern please? I'd like to give it a try. You did such a great job. Well done!

This is so lovely, should be on my big wall!! You did a great job.:)
|
How fun! Looks just like a pile of leaves in the yard waiting for kids and dogs to jump into!
|
love the colours and how your leaves come out in the border
nice:thumbup: |
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!
|
Love it!!!
|
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.
|
What a potpurri of fall leaves! Splendid!

Love the dark border - really frames the leaves nicely. |
Wow that is beautiful. I am a beginner, but I would love to give it a try. My children and grandchildren gets real fascinated when they see a quilt I have finished.

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". |

Oh'how nice your quilt is. looks like my front yard with all the 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.

Absolutely lovely!
|
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.
|
wow, it is great. Looks very hard, don't know how you did it. Did you need a desing wall to do it?
|
What leaves, none dropping here in Phoenix yet.
|
I love your quilt. It is awesome. The pattern and fabric colors are gorgeous and make for a fabulous combination.
|
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!
|
Wow awesome job this is gorgeous! I love the colors and leaves :)
