Since we have just begun the Fall season, I thought I'd show some Fall fabrics I've been
hoarding saving to make an autumn quilt.
When considering fabrics for an autumn quilt, I always like to throw in a little purple. It seems to set off the orange colors. (I think it's a color wheel thing, but I'm no expert.)
Only 4 of the 7 fabrics are strictly "autumn" fabrics but once in a while, if I see a fall fabric that I just love, I buy a fat quarter to add to the collection.
The name printed on the selvage edge of the fabric on the far right is called "October Sunset". Wouldn't that be a great name for a quilt made up of these colors?
On my
ridiculously long list of "
quilts I'm going to make someday" is a fall quilt using a pattern from Judy Martin called "Autumn Fantasy". Here's a photo from Judy's Gallery:

Only time will tell when this quilt will make it to the top of my list, but I'll have my fabric ready when it does. :-)
Happy Autumn!
Such wonderful rich colors ,can't wait to see what you do with them .
ReplyDeleteI love these fabrics together!! Is this a paper pieced pattern? It will look great with your fabrics!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors! Okay, we gotta see how this is gonna turn out so why not just go ahead and put this one at the top of the list now, okay?? Take care my friend
ReplyDeleteYou just had to throw in the link to that Autumn Fantasy quilt to torture us in to adding a quilt to our list too! :-) I love fall fabrics too, and those are gorgeous. Karen
ReplyDeleteI love your fall fabric colletion. Everyone has to have an Autumn Quilt on their list of quilts "to do". This time of year I always get inspired to pull out those rusts, oranges, deep reds, and golds.
