Autumn Quilt by Penny

We have had a lovely autumn here in the UK.  The days have on the whole been bright and sunny and the trees have been looking lovely in their autumn splendor. One of the best I can remember.  On one of those lovely autumn days I had the pleasure of quilting this 'Autumn Quilt' made by Penny.  It is made up of Bear Paw blocks using scrappy fabrics in gorgeous autumn colours, to look like maple leaves.

The quilt Penny made is huge and reached the ceiling when I hung it up, but now the nights are getting colder I am sure she is appreciating the cosy warmth only this special hand made quilt can provide.

To add to the autumn theme, Penny chose an allover digital pantograph 'Indian Summer' by Patricia Ritter.  It features acorns and leaves and was beautifully showcased on the burgundy border.

Once I had quilted it, Penny just had to add the binding and I know she has had a special quilt label made by Sam at Hoop It, Stitch It, to add to the back.
