I started with the scraps from this tabletopper, especially the two Autumn florals.
The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for October is light neutrals, and I think these fit right in, with the addition of a little brown. To begin with, I made the maple leaves, flying geese, and pumpkins from the Autumn Jubilee project.
Because I had a specific size in mind, I ended up using the blocks I made in this arrangement. You can see Carole's final layout for a 40 inch square quilt HERE. Mine is 12 x 18.
You might notice that one of my pumpkins is a different size than the other. That resulted from miss-cutting the strips that form the pumpkin. But that's okay - pumpkins come in all different sizes, right?
A pretty light gold dot for the backing and a fun brown stripe for the binding finished this right up!
And here is my Autumn Jubilee/Table Scraps mini quilt posing on the table with the original topper, plus a bonus mug rug made from two leftover flying geese.
The 12 x 18 piece ended up here, on the small table between our comfy chairs. We needed something new as these quilted mats get washed all the time, with all the coffee spills and cookie crumbs that end up there... So they wear out!
And the mini mini landed here - with my Autumn Angel. Perfect colors!
The letters for October's table scraps are Q and T, and I really had to think about how they could go with my projects. The first word that came to mind was Quiet - because low volume/light neutral quilts always seem quiet to me.
And then the word Quote popped up, so how about an Autumn quote? This one fits!
Hope you're having a lovely Autumn day!

Oooh I love your new autumn table quilts. The two different size pumpkins are adorable. You always have the prettiest fabrics that you work with. And how cute is the mini!!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! All three projects turned out beautifully. I like the quote, it is our second season of color. Though I'm not sure we are going to get much here, it was so dry this year and we are going from warm to cold really quickly. That usually means everything just turns brown.
ReplyDeleteLove these pretty autumn pieces! I didn't think a thing about the different sized pumpkins - I like it that way! Your angel is beautiful, and looks perfect with the companion mat.
ReplyDeletethat is nice to adapt her patterns smaller to suit you - they look great
ReplyDeleteYour new Autumn mat is perfect, and yes pumpkins come in all shapes, sizes and now colors too!
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect!! I love the mismatched pumpkins! And I adore Flying Geese.
ReplyDeletePerfect is a great word for your Fall smalls! Perfect use of the scraps from your first table topper. Yup this chairside table covers get lots of use! And it’s extra fun to have a new one! Wow, your Autumn Angel is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI just love your interpretation of the ideas Carole proposes. Your finishes are all so lovely and provide perfect autumnal touches around your house!
ReplyDeleteLove your color choices for Fall sewing! They will look beautiful on your table in October and November.
ReplyDeleteThey look so great together. Excellent job! I love your Autumn Angel on her mini mat. Perfect. Bravo! ;^)
ReplyDeleteYes, pumpkins come in all shapes and sizes! What fun quilts you have created. That little mini is perfect for the angel.
ReplyDeleteI love your table toppers! They look great. I like the fact that the pumpkins aren't exactly alike. That's more like nature.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of your Light NEUTRALS, Diann, and I absolutely adore the placemat you created!!! Quiet? Perfection by beginning and ending a single word for the ABC (Table) SCRAPS Challenge this month. And a bonus mug rug, too! :o))
ReplyDeleteI love your creativity, Diann! You are an inspiration to me for the use of scraps in small projects!😀
ReplyDeleteYour autumn table topper is perfection! I actually prefer that the pumpkins are different sizes. The colors are so warm and comforting. These autumn makes of yours, just sing to my heart!!!
ReplyDeleteit looks very festive at your house
ReplyDeleteYour projects look great, and I am delighted that the blocks worked out. One of my goals was to have the designs go together in different ways to suit the individual reader. So happy to see your projects!!
ReplyDeleteI like all your projects and vignettes. The one with the harvest angel though is my fav!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely use of those colors. It's such a soft, low impact look.
ReplyDeleteit tuned out amazing!!I like the different sized pumpkins and the colors are just perfect for fall!!
ReplyDeleteNo need to match pumpkins. And, boy the little table mat sure came out well. I have a couple of mats that land on my dining room table during the year. They are a nice change from runners. You'll get a lot of use from this one.
ReplyDeleteFall fun. I hope to make a Fall quilt next year ... thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant adaptation of Carole's Autumn Jubilee quilt project. I need to get back to finishing up some small project. Maybe I'll get my sewjo back.
