Block #21 for Melva's Pieces of My Life QAL was posted last week and I had a chance to sew it up over the weekend. It is a maple leaf - one of my favorite blocks to make! To go along with the maple leaf, our reminiscing is all about Fall.

Slow Sunday Stitching
Two of my previous slow stitching projects featured in Sunday posts were finished this week!

Small but Mighty!
I have another finish to share today. That makes two this week! (See my sunflower mini quilt here.) Rainbow Nine Patch is one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects for 2024. I started making the blocks in about March or so because I wanted a new hand-piecing project. I had never made Hollow 9 Patches, but thought they'd be perfect for hand-piecing, and they were!
I ended up with 16 six inch blocks, so this measures 24 inches square. To finish it up I also hand quilted it.
A sweet tiny floral print that was in my goodie box from Nann made a great backing, and I decided on Grunge White Paper for the binding. I'm not sure I've ever used a white binding before, but I love it on this quilt! It highlights the white centers of the blocks.

Midweek Update: a Finish!
I had a "Drop Everything and Make It" project this month, and it is finished! I always enjoy Carole's (From My Carolina Home) fall projects and this year's was no exception. Her plan was for a mini quilt/wall-hanging/table-topper that was fall and Thanksgiving themed and that hooked me right in. While hunting around for fabric in my stash for this project, I came across a half yard of a sunflower print that I purchased on vacation in August and decided to use it as the focus fabric.
