Autumn Acres

Dolores & I are both very fortunate to have the opportunity to design quilts for magazines & other companies. It's no secret that I love scrappy, intricately-pieced designs. But sometimes, I'm ready for simple, mindless sewing. . .the kind of project where the fabric does all the talking and I can just feed pieces through the machine almost without thought.

Autumn Acres came about when I was just exhausted--too much going on at home with kids preparing to move out, too much going on with too many projects. 

So when I saw these gorgeous fabrics from Marcus, I just wanted to sew. 

 


So I started planning, but found I wanted a few more blues, a few more reds, a few more of everything. That's when these arrived:



So what did it all become?

This:

Strings and log cabins the sloppy way; one long strip and place the "chimney" center piece on top of the strip, sew and go! Thanks for the wonderful chance and congratulations on a great quilt!

I love to sew strings to foundation paper, so relaxing as is hand quilting. Congrats on making the cover.
