Super Simple Fall Quilt

Teresa pieced this fun and simple fall quilt.

It's simple half square triangles made from a layer cake, I love how it's so simple but can add so much color to a room for fall.

I machine quilted an all over leaf pattern, I haven't used variegated thread in a very long time, but now my favorite thread brand is making variegated thread I may just start using it more, I really love the way that it looks on this quilt.
Have a fantastic day! I'm hoping to get a lot accomplished today even though it's my little ones' 4th birthday today!

Modern Blocks ~ Book Review ~ and a chance to win!

I'm sure you've seen this fun new book popping up all over. But today I get to share my little take on this great book.Modern Blocks is a fabulous book featuring 99 Quilt Blocks (and patterns) by many well know designers and published by Stash Books.I am so honored that I have to opportunity to share a favorite block of mine in this book.

Piece of the Garden is the block that I designed. I love hexagons but I'm just not patient enough to hand sew. So, I designed a traditional hexagon block that can all be made by machine..... with NO Y SEAMS! YAY!!One of these days I really want to make a whole quilt using this block, and my scraps!

I have to share this little sneak peak of the back of the book. I was able to view the book a few times before my copy actually arrived and I never noticed the back cover. When it arrived I started examining the back cover and I almost peed my pants! There is my name! :)
