Fall is in the Air Quilt

10/12/2019

 
Do you decorate with quilts for fall?  I love working with fall fabrics and using quilts is my decoration of choice.  I just created a new fall quilt that could easily be stitched up before the snow starts to fall.  (Or since an early snow is in the forecast, maybe before the snow stays on the ground until spring).

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.
