There is a little quilt that I have wanted to make for years. I'm a tad late since it's really a fall quilt.
It was in a magazine and I finally decided I was going to take the time and make it.
This is what I liked.
It reminded me so much of the time my dad took me and my brother on a drive and we stopped at a big pile of leaves that city workers had made (in the rich part of the city.) my brother and I were allowed to jump into the pile. It was so much fun - except when I lost my brand new turquoise moccasin. It took a while but we did manage to find it.
This is how they showed you could display the little quilt. I don't have a little stand like that so mine will go on the wall.
I wanted a blue sky for my background instead of some beige fabric.
There is a little bit of 3D embroidery.
The shoelaces were fun to make.
Here's my version of the finished quilt. I made the binding the same way as with the little red bird quilt - bringing the backing to the front.
I'm on to other quilts now - and maybe some knitting.

What a fun little quilt! You should have made his (her?) shoes turquoise - would have been a nod to your memory of losing your moccasin.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like great fun! I remember playing in the leaves too, and our children took rides in the wheelbarrow filled with leaves raked from the lawn.
