Here's
another autumn quilt that's super quick and easy to sew, inspired
by nature.
I
used only two contrasting fabrics on this one, a gorgeous green and
rust fall leaf print with green and cream crosshatch design. Each 8”
block is constructed with 2½” x 4½” rectangles.
I
chain stitched them all before assembling the blocks. After sewing
them all together, I added three borders using 1½”, 2½”, and
3½” strips. Final size for Mowing Leaves is 53” square.
I
quilted with light green thread, using a scallop stitch in rows 2” apart.
This one didn't take long at all, mainly because of the two color
palette.
You
can probably guess the name came to me while we were mowing our
leaves. It seems like they're staying around longer this year, as we
still have them falling. I'm hoping the wind might blow some of them
away but we'll be out there again this week unless we wait till they're all down.
