I picked some pretty fall fabrics and had BIG plans..... then our vacation came (we arrived home Monday morning around midnight and we both had to get up at 5:30 am for work). Vacation was wonderful, spent with family and friends. Unfortunately since I was trying to finish a full size quilt and make blocks for this blog hop, I didn't get as many blocks done as I had planned. (I did get a little more than 2/3 of the full size flimsy done and 3 blocks for the hop between visits with family and friends, and quilt/fabric shopping with my sister).
It was fun creating these blocks.
Warm Feelings
This first square is part of a BOM from a local quilt shop. They are teaching how to use Perfect Templates. It was a fun block that my DH named for me "Warm Feelings"
Fall Harvest
This is my second square. I call it Fall Harvest. The block design I saw on Dots on Dots blog hop. I knew as soon as I saw it, I wanted to try it in my fall fabrics.
Pumpkin Harvest
My last block is paper pieced. I really became hooked on paper piecing when we tried Regina Grewe's Piling Up paper piece pattern for the Bowls with Borders blog hop. I wanted to do a wagon with pumpkins, but couldn't find a pattern. So I tried my hand at designing my own. Everything except the wagon wheels is paper pieced. The wagon wheels are yoyo's with button centers. I love it and will most likely finish it to hang on my table topper frame. The other blocks will be saved to make my "blog hop quilt".
I do have giveaway for any followers who leave a comment.
