Fall is In the Air Quilt

Fall is in the Air Quilt

Do you decorate with quilts for fall? I love working with fall fabrics and quilts are my decoration of choice in my home. I created this fall quilt that could easily be stitched up before the snow starts to fall.

Fall is in the Air Quilt

Last week I shared how to take a number of applique motifs from the EQ8 library and combine them to make a wreath. If you missed the tutorial you can catch it here.

In addition to sharing how to create the wreath, I also discussed how to convert the file to an svg format -- which is usable with Silhouette Cameo, Brother Scan n Cut and Cricut Maker cutting systems. So it would be super easy to make this 20 inch wreath.

This week I will share with you how to create a simple setting and some easy to piece blocks for a fun new fall quilt.

The maple leaf block is 3" finished and easy to rotary cut and the large 20" finished block would be conducive to foundation piecing -- or adding 5-1/2" and 3-1/2" squares for folded corners.

Curryanne Hostetler I was in the Mountain Mist Masters class. It was fun to take a reproduction Quilt and see it take my person touch. Whether I change the coloring or took it to a new innovation. I am sharing my Blue reproduction and the quilt I found and made my take on it.

Linda Carlson My class was the Masters Mountain Mist With a Modern Twist. Here is the quilt I created for the Challenge which was to choose a block(s) from the Quilt Index. I looked through all of them, saving several then seeing if something similar was in the Block Library or Block Base + library. I combined 2 that were to create this quilt. It was a great class, and I was challenged a couple times to figure out where I went wrong. Thanks Kari!

Debbi Treusch My quilt is from the challenge for the Mountain Mist class. I started with a Path in the Woods quilt from the Quilt Index. When I first saw the quilt, I saw colored pinwheels where the blocks came together. I made a few modifications to the block and then used Tula Pink fabrics to color to emphasize the pinwheels more than the "path" of the HST's in the quilt. I really like how the quilt came out and I am planning on making it.

Rhonda Goss Mountain Mist Class. Learned how to better use the Quilt Index. Bowtie quilt is for granddaughter for Christmas.

Loronda Schuler A little bit of kalidoscope and other things I learned. Very fun.

Shawn Spjut Choosing just one quilt design was hard___I like all of them. But if I have to choose, I'll go with this table runner design.

Lee Wiencki I liked the Pacman floral theme, so I made a Pacman Maze.

Gloria Worthen Jacobs I was quite intrigued with the challenge of the fibonnaci quilt designs and the amazing possibilities in the Modern Quilts 2 class.

Candy Huddleston Here's my version of the Susan Beaird Lewellin Sunburst Quilt from our Reproduction Quilts classes. I only used different colors for this challenging quilt, but because I like purple, it was my go-to color.

Connie Bradley Bobcik My attempts at downloading and playing with fabrics in Working with Fabric Images. Had lots of fun learning all the options with fabrics and colors.

Candy Huddleston I wanted to show you the Double Wedding Ring Quilt that you helped me figure out the border squares in one of our August Help Sessions. The quilt top is actually already sewn, but I still have the borders to add. My 6" blocks were set into a Double Wedding Ring setting that American Quilter's Society published in 2019 for their Paducah Sewalong. I just put Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage blocks into the quilt instead of their Sampler blocks.

Lee Wiencki I put together some different classes to make this design.

Nancy Kiley I participated in the TKQ Bargello Quilts sessions this month. I'm posting my favorite quilt based on comments that I received from friends and family. Even my grandson, age 11, said he loved this quilt! This block and quilt were the Bargello Spiral Star Log Cabin lessons.

Lynne Maramieri I took the Sampler Quilt Class in August. This is one of my favourite quilt designs in Christmas fabrics.

Zdenka Nemethová I learned how to make a number of various borders in my August Advanced Border Design Class. I noticed this is my 17th month with TKQ and I was never bored - I love and enjoy every lesson ❤

Fran Heisey This quilt was inspired by Masters Class Mountain Mist Lesson 4. Kari showed how to make a scalloped border, that inspired me to play with borders for double wedding ring quilts.

Happy quilting.

Lynn Burnett Klein I used the merge block, tint and shade with symmetry. Amazing how the look changes with each touch

Julie Pedersen I have to share 2 for this one as I can't decide what is my favorite. I took the Masters Mountain Mist Class this month. The first one is the Masters Challenge quilt where I chose 2 blocks and recreated a vintage style quilt. The second is my quilt from Lesson 7.

Amy McBurnie This is from the Easy Draw class where we modified the Sun Ray block and then were encouraged to make our own variation. Setting it on point changed the entire look. Right now I'm calling it "Christmas Star" but any other suggestions for a name would be welcome.

Mary Groesbeck I'm still working on my Blue Bunnies...among many other things. It's been a long time since a quilt this far out of my usual has kept my attention so well.
