A couple of weeks ago I start on a new quilt for myself call Falling Leaves. https://donnaleeq.blogspot.com/2025/11/falling-leaves-chapter-one.html. I finally got the first appliqués fused on to the back ground and have started appliquéing them.
While I have a pattern I have found that placement of the vines, flowers, and leaves is a bit of a layout difference. The pattern is for a table runner and this is going to be the center of a 50" by 50" quilt, that will hang on the wall in our dining room during the fall season.I was able to machine appliqué down two flowers. I used a blanket stitch and matching colored thread. My daughter visiting from Colorado helped me finally de-stash a bin full of Tilda fabrics. This is one of the quilts she used to help me rid myself of them. It will go to my charity group. She was very clever and used up lots of small scraps doing the wonky 6 inch blocks. This 36" by 36' baby quilt was the very last one that finished off the rest of them. It also will be a charity quilt with a border using the last of the yellow fabric on the quilt top.
