It's
officially fall in Tennessee, and boy do I love the matching weather.
Cool mornings, warm afternoons, and lower humidity make the days
just right for open windows.
In
keeping with the autumn theme, here's my latest quilt. I took
elements from Blue Wren's Turkey Tracks die to play with an old block
design. The main print is a cream with orange, gold, terra cotta,
and navy flowers. I pulled various fabric in those colors to make up
the 8” blocks and used terra cotta for sashing.

Play seemed like a fun name for this 42” x 52” quilt. I quilted
vertically with dark melon thread using a serpentine stitch 2”
apart. I used the same terra cotta fabric for backing and binding.

Over
the past two weeks, I've had three quilts going at the same time.
Having Annie, my Featherweight, set up for piecing allows me to keep
Janelle (Janome) free for quilting. I really prefer to work on one
at a time to keep my room neater. But the ideas kept coming and I
just had to get started.
