I have this fall wall hanging that I have had for many years, made easily a good 35 years ago. It is a project I made when I first started my quilting journey. It is time to retire it and make something new.
While it appears to be appliquéd it is not. It was just 2 printed panals that I joined and had quilted. The quilting is really lovely with leaves and vines. I have used this table runner patten a couple of times. I now have decided to use it again but increase the size by making three rows of of flowers and vines using a fat quarter bundle by Jason Yenter called Falling Leaves, along with some additional yardage of that fabric as well and some background fabrics in my stash. I have pulled these fabrics for the center of the quilt. Of course I have had to order more of a couple of them as well. I will be modifying the size of the center pieces from the pattern's 3.5"cuts to 6.5" cuts and the center portion of the quilt will be 36" square. The plan is for the completed quilt to be 50" square once it has a small and larger borders. I have prepared the first 5 of the 15 large flowers for the center of the quilt. And this is 4 of the 12 smaller flowers needed. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. The handsome guy above and his two ladies here belong to our youngest daughter. She lives out in the country on 8 acres and has loads of pets. Chickens, ducks, geese, and yes this guy along with the his ladies. Not to worry, all three have been pardon for life and will spend many years pampered and taken care of.
