Since we now live in maple country I thought it would be a crying shame if I didn't make a maple leaf quilt, and this seemed like the perfect year to do it. Heaven knows, I had the time...

I love how this quilt mimics the random ways leaves fall from trees and scatter on the ground -- every which way. It's chaotic and beautiful!

This particular maple leaf pattern was so simple and a great way for me to be introduced to following an actual quilt pattern. I love the different cream colored fabrics for the background instead of just one. Like most patch-work quilts, it makes me feel like the quilt has been well loved even before it's finished!

Once again I used sashing on this quilt, but it is the same cream color as the background, so it just adds a little space between the blocks without framing them. I also used a horizontal longarm quilting pattern that reminded me of the wind swirling around the leaves.

HERE is where I found this easy pattern, courtesy of Pat Sloan and the Olfa Website.

Wishing you all a beautiful fall day!

A year ago I made a Christmas Quilt for all of our children's families plus a few more -- about 12 in all. As always happens when you make quilts, I had a variety of fabrics left over, so I decided to make one for my husband and I with many of the fabrics I used for our kid's quilts. I thought that would be a fun way of remembering those quilts...

I finished the binding the other day and it's time to show it off. I chose fabrics from the mix that I felt would blend -- lots of reds and greens, of course, and some grays, blacks and lights. I have to admit I love how it turned out and this quilt pattern (a variation of a "snow globe" pattern) is perfect for showing off the fabrics.

I chose a simple horizontal longarm quilting pattern for this quilt. I love it. It adds a fun swirl, but doesn't compete with the busyness of the fabrics.

For the back I chose a black Christmas print, that might be my favorite Christmas fabric yet. Get a load of this...

I'm in love with those little mice.
