Autumn
has arrived, even through the temperature doesn't agree. Ninety
degree days aren't what I had in mind for Tennessee in late
September.
Nevertheless,
I have a fall quilt for you today made with scraps in gold, brown,
tan, and green shades. Maple leaf block is a vintage nine patch
design.
This was the first project I pieced using Midnight, our recently refurbished dark blue and silver Singer 404. Lovely stitches and smooth running after a few adjustments. I added 1” sashing to separate the blocks plus 5½”
wide borders.

Using
medium tan thread, I quilted wavy lines horizontally and vertically
across the whole quilt using a rolling wave ruler on the Janome 9450. This is one of my
favorite allover designs to quilt since it doesn't have to be precise
to look good.
Maple
Row finished at 49” square. It looks snuggly but I won't be under
it until this summer heat goes away. It will have to decorate the back
of the couch for a while yet.
Stay
cool, and have a wonderful week!
