Hi Cuties, I made this Quilt a number of years ago, I used 5" squares, sewed them all together in a random effect, then placed it on top of some backing material, then placed the faux suede border around it. The next step was to Machine Embroider all the Autumn Leave on to it before I finished it with some narrow binding.
The Autumn Leaves are from Husqvarna
Thankyou for looking
Regards Lorraine

Oh my - it's gorgeous! The appliqué work is wonderful. Bet it is very warm on a cool autumn evening. Nicely done.

Hi laffma1, Thankyou. Yes it is surprisingly cosy on a summer night. I only used the top layer and backing layer for this quilt.

It's even better in real life - I saw it at Lorraine's home when I was in Adelaide earlier this year. It's absolutely beautiful Lorraine. Love Chris

Hi Chris, Thankyou so much. It was an easy quilt to put together, the challenge came when I had to put the Embroideries on it.
When I made this quilt I had only been Machine Embroidering for such a short time, I was a little scared that I would stuff it up.
I'm so glad it turned out so well.

Stunning! This is truly beautiful.
(Lorraine, since this has machine embroidered leaves, you could have put it in projects had you desired. Not necessary, though.)

I love your work, Lorraine. I read your comment to laffma1 down below. Am I understanding you have no batting in, between your block top and your back piece? Are the blocks cotton or faux suede? What is your back? This really came out pretty and I love the random placement you have done!-Toogie

Hi Toogie, The quilt is all cotton, the backing fabric is the same as the printed Japanese 5" squares on the front. The only area that has faux suede is the boarder Top and Border Back, and under the Applique leaves. It washes up beautifully every time too. I just put it in the washer on gentle cycle and hang it on the line to dry.
Thankyou for looking Toogie.
Love Lorraine

Hi crafter2243, Thankyou
You should try it, it isn't to hard for beginners to do, just sew some squares together, any size you like, the bigger the quicker of course.Then put a backing on it. Lastly, you can stitch in between the seams or as I have done Embroider all over it.
