The Sew Along continues today with the addition of borders to our little project. This will use up more of our scraps, and give you an idea for a larger project as well.
I have no end to Autumn inspired fabric scraps, LOL!! It is just a matter of choosing a bunch, then cutting 2-1/2-inch squares.
You’ll need 40 squares, 2-1/2-inches square. Sew them in line sets as follows –
Two sets of 3 squares
Four sets of 5 squares
Two sets of 7 squares
Then arrange the square sets around your embroidered center, with the sets of three on the top and bottom, the sets of 5 surrounding those, and the sets of seven on the left and right.
Sew the 3-square sets to the top and bottom of the center embroidery.
Sew the 5-square units to the left and right sides.
Add the 5-square sets to the top and bottom.
Then add the 7-square sets to the left and right sides.
This completes our wall hanging top. It did occur to me that if you wanted a larger quilt, you could embroider several motifs and make the 12-1/2-inch top into blocks. It would use up a lot of scraps! Next week, we’ll quilt and finish it.

Which batting or fabric collection would you like to have?
From My Carolina Home 
OOOOH I’d like to try Tuscany Supreme 100% Unbleached Cotton. It sounds delightful!
Love when a batting manufacturer like Hobbs offers a good variety. I think I would choose a premium 80/20 as I often decide to hand quilt. This choice allows for both hand and machine quilting.
For my first handquilted project I would love to have a special batting: Hobbs Tuscany Silk Batting!
The Tuscany batting would be nice to try! I think I’ve tried the other Hobbs battings
I would love to try the Tuscany wool or silk batting.
The collection of Pure solids looks yummy.

I absolutely love Hobbs 80/20 Batting!
I hear such wonderful things about Hobbs battings. I’d love to try Heirloom cotton/poly, 100% cotton, or their 100% wool batting. From the Tuscany collection I’d like to try any of the 100% cotton or the 100% wool batting.
Art Gallery Fabrics is new to me. I didn’t look at all the collections but I liked the Trinkets collections.
P.S. I forgot. Thank you for the giveaway and for organizing the Autumn Jubilee1

I used Polydown on my most recent quilt for my Granddaughter’s wedding gift and was pleased with the weight–not as heavy as cotton or 80/20.
I really like the “Roots of Nature” fabric collection–Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year.
I really like the Color Master bundles on the Art Gallery Fabrics website. Specifically would pick the Quite Peachy Edition bundle.
I looked at the Art Gallery fabric collections and there are a lot of gorgeous things! One of the collections that appealed to me is West Palm.
I was interested in the Hobbs Tuscany products particularly the Silk batting. Your embroidered piece is just right for the season. Thanks for sharing.

I love your embroidery. I would love to try the HOBBS silk batting. Thanks for all you do !
Love this! I don’t have an embroidery machine but I do cross stitch and this is a great use of a couple things I’ve embroidered and didn’t know how to finish!
I’d love to try the 100%wool from hobbes batting or the gratitude collection from the art gallery, I really loved the fabric selection that was in all of the holiday collections on the art gallery website though!
I adore the Garden of Opulence. I like flowers and gardening.
