Countdown to fall with autumn bloom quilt
Are you a seasonal quilter?
Fall is my favorite season, and I love to explore and celebrate the rich, warm hues of fall through fabrics … and of course turn them into a quilt.
As the first days of summer unfold, I can't help but dream of autumn's stunning colors. Even in the midst of summer's heat, the thought of golden yellows, dark green, and deep oranges fills me with anticipation. I had a chance to play with this Pumpkin Spice Collection by Riley Blake Designs and wrote a new pattern especially for it.
Meet … Autumn Bloom Quilt
"Autumn Bloom Quilt", inspired by all the thing autumn. The quilt is made of nine patch blocks and turned them into flower bloom blocks. Stitch and Flip method (SNF) is used through out the pattern.
The quilt finishes at 66" x 66", a good sized throw, and perfect for quilters with all skill levels. I love how the plaid sashing strips give the Farmhouse feel, making this quilt look even more cozy. You can also use your favorite Fat Quarters or make it scrappy.
If you don’t like drawing diagonal lines for SNF method, I highly recommend this “diagonal seam tape” by Cluck Cluck Sew. It saves a lot of time, especially when you chain-piecing the petal units.
I always look for a simple quilting design when I make a quilt using a lot of print fabrics. So that the quilting is not competing with the quilt itself. I chose "Fanfare" pantograph by Creative Stitches for this Autumn Bloom quilt and quilted it with high density to get some great textures.
You can find Autumn Bloom Quilt on my website along with other patterns that I think you’ll love.
