Here is the quilt I made this winter after not quilting for several years. I messed up and didn't use 1/4 inch seams so the sides don't match up like they should. Good thing it's just for our family room!

Very pretty! Reminds me of beautiful Fall leaves! I love the pieced border.

Absolutely lovely! Those colors make you want to curl up in it with some hot cider.

I love it. I want to make one of these. I got married in Toronto, Canada. So I want to make a quilt out of red maple leaves. :)

i agree. it's beautiful. the mistakes definitely don't show. those rich colors remind me of my mother's (and mine) favorite set of jewelry. :P

GMarie 03-30-2008 02:01 PM

Thanks! It's true that only we can see the mistakes we make clearly!

GMarie 03-30-2008 02:02 PM

My husband and my favorite season is fall. Also, we have very rich, deep colors in our family room - so I was inspired twice!

I found the pattern in a book. I think a wide variety of color schemes could be used to make it.

GMarie, my favorite season is fall too, though we barely get a taste of it here! That quilt is gorgeous!

Awsome! Hey, you know what? That quilt reminded me of another neat leaf quilt that you might like checking out.

I like this site. This lady has the best patterns and some folks (her fans, I guess) use them and post pics of their quilts. One really, really nice is the leaf quilt yours reminded me of.

And, I also like to see what our European quilters are making too. And at one quilt show, I even saw one of her patterns on display.

Check it out.

This link is to the autumn leaves. The blocks are on top, the pic of the quilt is at the bottom.

She also has really nice paper-pieced star blocks. Check out the neat sand star quilt someone made at the bottom.

This link is to a star quilt.

Sooo pretty!! It made a wave of warmth go through me just looking at it and imagining being cuddled underneath. Awesome job!!

What a beautiful quilt. Love the color choices and the arrangement. Great job :thumbup:

QuiltinLee 04-01-2008 06:16 PM

Absolutely love it. I've been wanting to make a maple leaf quilt for years now. You did a wonderful job. I doubt if the Quilt Police are going to come to your house to measure your quilt, so I wouldn't worry about the sides matching

It's beautiful, I love the Fall colors!

live2teach 04-01-2008 06:21 PM

Oh, that's gorgeous! I love those colors. My grandmother in law is working on one now, but hers is with brighter colors. You did a wonderful job on it!

Quilting Aggi 04-02-2008 06:04 AM

oooooooooooooooooooooohhhh!!! I just love fall colours!! I made an autumn quilt last year too.. I still need to quilt it.. I am seriously thinking of layering and quilting it up very soon. Perhaps after my trip I will get the machine quilting done.

I'm with Denise!!! As another Canadian girl, I LOVE your maple leaves. I don't know what you mean that the sides don't match up. Looks wonderful to me!
