Autumn Stroll

Special thanks to Dad for 'modeling' this for me

Quilted for: Aunt Andrea
Started: September 23, 2010

This quilt started by just browsing the fabric wall at Joann's and seeing a pattern that really jumped out at me. With the rest of the collection being fully of busy patterns I wanted to keep the pattern nice and simple so I chose Eleanor Burn's 'Don't Fence Me In' pattern. The pattern was simple but allowed me to get some practice in on squaring off the corners of my blocks before assembling which made for a much squarer quilt than I have previously constructed.

I had been worried about how I would go about quilting the sandwiched pieces together and thought I would do straight lines following the cream and dark brown lines that traverse the quilt. I was more impressed about how cool it looks on the back of the quilt when I was finished. Since the whole back is one pattern it break it up a little with the geometric pattern.

All n' all I had fun making this quilt. I think I would definitely do this pattern again. It is so quick to bang out that it would be great if I needed a pattern for a last minute project but it's still aesthetically interesting. I think it could also be made into a great baby blanket if you back in it warm fuzzy type stuff. Auntie, I hope you enjoy your quilt.
