After finishing that one up, I had a maple leaf leftover and decided to play with these blocks in a rainbow of colors! So - they became one of my block projects for the 2017 Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
I started making nine patches to match the maple leaves after awhile, and this week I added some low volume blocks to the collection. I love the look of these in the golds and light browns!
I had been trying to decide what I wanted to do with these blocks, and finally made a decision this week.
The cooler and wetter weather we've been experiencing this month has made it feel very fall-like around here, so that got me in the mood to make a new fall table runner for my dining room table.
I started by dividing my maple leaves and nine patches into the fall-like colors and the "others."
Maybe those others will become a project for next spring, or sometime in the winter when I'm tired of snow and brown grass and need some color!
Meanwhile, I'm taking the fall colors and stitching them together like this -
Stay tuned!
Ooh, I like!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I started that too and have several blocks made but never did anything with them. I'm never ready for fall cause that means winter's soon to follow and I really don't like that! :-)
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!!
ReplyDeleteLove those leaves--especially the darker color ones--so rich in hues...hugs, Julierose ("...and the days dwindle down to a precious feww, September, Novemberrrrr..."--songs for all quilts hahaha)
ReplyDeletenice! I like the idea of seeing some blocks in a RSC quilt go quiet.
ReplyDeleteAll of the blocks look great! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes I approve of your 'in progress' runner! I am so not ready for fall either, but I feel it in the air this week.
ReplyDeleteLooking good! Thanks for the mention and showing your Autumn Jubilee topper from last year. I am planning the event for October for this year.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a fun project. Always so much fun when projects start to come together.
ReplyDeleteYou're making beautiful progress.
ReplyDeleteLove your choices for the fall runner! I am so eager to have fall arrive!
ReplyDeleteI like your table runner; just the thing for autumn. I think it's a great idea to combine the maple leaves with nine-patches.
ReplyDeleteIt's great how your project evolved and the table runner is a perfect fall piece. Also, the neutrals fit in perfectly. Congrats!
ReplyDeletewonderful how the leaves and the 9 patches look so good together.
ReplyDeleteNice way to finish off (a portion of) your blocks!! Including the LIGHT NEUTRAL blocks in your table runner looks really good. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great solution! That will be a very pretty runner for your table.
ReplyDeleteCute idea! Makes me want to join in!
ReplyDeleteLet's call those "late summer" colours, rather than fall! In any case, they have a lovely, fresh feeling. Looking good!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love your leaves and 9-patches in any color, but there is something about the warmth of fall colors - the homey-ness I guess - that makes them perfect for a table runner!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for fall! Turning those blocks into a table runner is a great idea!
ReplyDeletePerfect colors for fall! What a great way to use up your RSC blocks before they become a UFO.
