When will summer end and the cooler days of fall begin? The autumnal equinox—also called the September equinox—arrives on Saturday, September 23. Autumn is one of the best seasons to enjoy the glorious colors of our changing environment. Mother Nature brings out her prettiest deep greens, sunny golds, and vivid oranges and reds before beginning her winter repose.
Third Weekend in October by Ruth Powers at Ruth Powers Art Quilts
A well-loved favorite at quilt shows, "Third Weekend in October" captures the very essence of sun-dappled warm hues. Ruth sprinkled fabrics with lighter values diagonally across the quilt and placed some leaves overlapping the borders. This technique gives the quilt a very natural, realistic, outdoors look, much as we might view a scattering of leaves on our front lawn. To purchase the pattern, visit Ruth Powers' website.
For a smaller project, here is a cute and easy FREE mini quilt by Pat Sloan for Olfa (click for the FREE pattern):
We also love the "Fall Ya All" mini quilt by Sandy Gervais. This quilt was part of the "Follow The Blue Bird Quilt Along" for Riley Blake Designs. Did you miss the QAL? As of this writing, you can still get the FREE pattern at Pieces From My Heart (CLICK):
