A simple and beautiful quilt in wonderful fall colors:
This quilt is just a simple 9 patch with sashing and posts between the blocks, but it sure shines in these fall colors. I love fall (especially in Maine), and the colors and textures that go with that season. It is a scrap quilt and the 9 patch blocks are made up of 4" squares. The sashing and posts are 2.5". The top was pieced January to June 2010.
I realized last fall how much I like the colors purple, green, black and orange together. I am not a Halloween fan at all, but this quilt is just flat out cheery. I just finished the top yesterday!!!!!!

| Yippee !!!! The top is done. |
It was fun to go through my scraps to find orange and purple scraps that were big enough to cut 4" squares from them. I found a lot of purple scraps but not many orange. I ended up cutting into my orange yardage to get enough squares for the blocks.
The outside border was hard to decide what I wanted to do - I finally opted just to continue the sashing and posts as the border and call it done.
Update 6/19/12: It was machine quilted by RLM in Sept. 2011, and I got the tag done over the winter.

| The quilting is a swirly design |
Finished size is 96 x 96 inches.
The backing is a black floral on white that I purchased at Paducah, KY and of course there is a cross stitched label to go with the quilt.
This quilt is #773 in my quilt scrapbook.
