Re: Autumnal Quilt/Wall Hanging

Anything in fall colors -- orange, brown, rust, gold, green. Something in a leaf pattern, like Carol Doak's "Autumn Leaves" from her book "Easy Paper-pieced Keepsake Quilts" or something using the Maple Leaf block; one version is at . Here's another fall leaves pattern that I have (but have not used yet):

How about a simple cornucopia? I have a stencil book that has a number of designs that I have made up in fabric and there is a nice cornucopia there. And another in a stained glass book that would look good in fabric. Just thought they might be quicker and easier than some other methods.

I just had a try with Google, Images, using the words 'Autumn Leaves quilt patterns'. There were loads to choose from. Perhaps one might even lead to instructions on how to make it. When you click on the thumbnail, you get back to where the picture was originally included. It's always a fun exercise! . In message , Sally Swindells writes

Thank you all for your suggestions. I now have a little pile of quilt pictures saved and some cornucopii drawings too, so have plenty to inspire me.

I couple of ideas jumped out at me a bit - ones I could combine, so I'll have another think tomorrow. I could make it to fit my funny hall/kitchen window of course, so it would be a useful project too!

I was reading my Jinny Beyer Tessellation book earlier, and then I found a tessellated maple leaf quilt when I did Pats Google, so might even try drawing one out and make use of the book at last. Could even do

There are lots of ideas at this site.

Bless you Susan!!! That site has the raggy Autumn leaves quilt pattern that I have searched high and low to find!!!!

I have it safely saved..............Thank you so much for the posting!

Thanks - hadn't seen this site before. I've printed out two to look at further, but have saved the site carefully for future use.

Keepsake Quilting used to have an great maple leaf quilt that had them overlapping and forming larger leaves. It was called something like October nights/maple leaves..does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Found one there called 'October Weekend' which is all different sizes of maple leaves. The kit contents lists 'papers for making 2.1/2square triangles' so I am thinking that maybe this is one I can play around with.

Lots of other pretty things there to tempt me with too!

Thanks for pointing me in that direction
