Autumn Quilts for Decorating
I've been doing autumn theme quilts since my early days of quilting. The second quilt I ever did was a huge, oversized king with tossed leaves on a beige background.

I put the sashing strips between the leaf blocks and the next row's arrows and butterflies. Then, without really paying attention, I sewed the rows together with …
Finishing the Dahlia Panel
The Dahlia panel quilt is finished, and now hanging up. I did the back differently than usual as this wall hanging is too large for the quilt clips I have in the den. I have a curtain rod with ring clips for hanging quilts in my sewing space, but for this one, I wanted to …
