Autumn Glory

This art quilt captures the beauty of trees in autumn, with textures of bark and the sun shining through, casting brilliant reds and oranges. The undergrowth is a mixture of mosses, ferns, red sumac, and dogwood, with shadows and light playing on the forest floor.

Dappled light shines through the trees, reminding us of walks in the woods. Christine Barker depicted the beauty of autumn using hand applique and dyeing; machine applique, strip piecing, and quilting.

Scattered Leaves by Shirley Challice (Kawartha Lakes, Ontario, Canada)  

 

 

This quilt was based on a pattern called Tessellation Blues by Maria Umhey (published in McCalls Quilting Magazine, January 2012.) Shirley Challice says, "I made this pattern in creams and indigos several years ago and considered making it in fall colors. The "O'Canada" exhibit was great motivation to create it again at half the size."

 

Scattered Leaves was beautifully machine pieced and quilted with the Maple Swirl pantograph by Urban Elementz. 

The McCall's pattern is no longer available, but we found a FREE tessellated leaves block tutorial by Yvonne at Quilting JetGirl (CLICK HERE for tutorial).  Yvonne also has a digital pattern available for purchase, including multiple finished quilt sizes (photo below...CLICK HERE for pattern link!)

This great wall quilt is based on the Scrappy Maple Leaf quilt pattern by Cindy Carter (download the free quilt pattern HERE).  

Marjory Mutton says, "I saw a picture of a quilt on the internet, and the scrappy style appealed to me.  it inspired me to create my own version, which I called Dancing Leaves.  I have a large collection of fall-colored scraps I wanted to showcase, so I ran with it.  Enjoy!"
