Fall Festival
60 x 75
It's a Flimsy!
Several years ago I participated in several themed Chunky Churn Dash swaps - patriotic, 30s, fall, floral. I wanted to challenge myself to set them all differently with alternate blocks. This is quilt #3 using the fall themed blocks. I originally intended to make a bigger quilt and use two different 15 inch blocks like above - one with four Chunky Churn blocks, geese with dark corners for sashing, 3 inch 9 patch for center and another with four framed four patches and light corners on the geese sashing. I intended to make 18 of each and set them 6 x 6.
After I made 18 of the blocks using all my Chunky Churn Dash blocks I didn't feel like making 16 more blocks (I made two for a test run) using framed four patches so decided to make a quilt with 20 blocks instead - 18 with Chunky Churns and 2 with Framed Four Patches.
The two blocks with the Framed Four Patches blend in but also stand out.
I love quilts with fall colors.
It looks like a pile of leaves I'd like to jump into.
And there's some secondary patterns.
I kind of like that too.
I have a flannel sheet I might use for the backing. I think I will have to let out the side seams because the width of the quilt top fits just inside those two seams with no fabric left to spare and I think I need a little wiggle room in order to quilt this on my DSM.
