March 2023 edited to add: the tutorial is no longer available, but you can access the free PDF downloadable pattern here.
The colors along our river trail are so pretty right now – we had to take a little walk yesterday to enjoy them. I’ll be so sad when all of the leaves have fallen from the trees. A little piece of me dies when the snow starts to fall!
The quilt finished at about 59” x 67”. In my opinion, it’s the perfect reading-a-good-book-in-winter size quilt. I’m a little sad that I’m not keeping this one. It’s going to soon be heading to the home of one of my favorite people.
For the quilting I did one of my favorites – small loops scattered throughout a loose all-over meandering. It flows so nicely as I’m doing the quilting and the finished look is nice and soft.
I’m really such a fan of this Marguerite line. It’s so feminine and pretty! I’m not normally big on yellow, but I’m really in love with this red/yellow combination.
Wanna make an Autumn Blooms quilt for yourself? How ‘bout a giveaway to get you started?
I have a stack of 9 fat quarters all from the Marguerite line ready to mail to one of you lucky readers!
ready for the details?

Beautiful quilt! And I love your simple quilting. Better get ready for that snow . . . I think it's coming tonight. ;) My favorite season is spring . . . after a long winter, it feels good to wake up and come out of hibernation. Fall is a close second because of all the colors. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog via google reader. Does that count??
ReplyDeleteMy favourite season is summer. I tend to be cold a lot so I have a hard time with fall and winter!!
The quilt is lovely and I'll have to try your simple meander/loop quilting myself. Looks like one I could handle. I love fall when the weather finally cools down here in So. California. We've had more than enough heat this year. Thanks for the giveaway.
