Fall Flight

I obviously love this quilt pattern because this is the fourth version I’ve made of it! The pattern comes from Bonnie Hunter’s website, http://www.quiltville.com.  She is the absolute queen of making scrappy quilts and I love to scroll through her website just to see what she does.

I named this quilt Fall Flight, not only because of the colors — bright blue skies as a backdrop for trees changing into their autumn colors and then dropping their leaves — but because of the border fabric showing birds in flight.

The quilting design (a Sashiko pattern called, “Fishnet”) is in blue thread, and was done by a professional long-armer, but now that I am getting my own long-arm machine (Yippee!) it might be the last quilt I’ll pay someone else to quilt for me.

I can’t wait to sleep under this one tonight.
