Another Finished Project

When I first began to  want to learn the art of quilting, I made a wall hanging for our home. After that, all the quilts that I made in California were for other people~my sister undergoing chemo and then then the five baby quilts for our grands. About 14 yrs ago I also started going to Mystery Quilt Weekends and had a couple of wall hangings for that. When we moved to Colorado and retired, I began making quilts for hubby and I. I gave him a flannel quilt on Christmas one year, that he uses every winter and about two years ago, I made a fall quilt for myself. Last year when we were up in Washington, I got this fabric and pattern and spent last winter working on this. Last night I finished the binding and washed it this morning. Without further adieu here it is.



I can honestly say that this is my favorite quilt thus far; I added more quilting than I have in the past, in a feather pattern that hopefully you can see in the bottom two photos.  I love the colors and prints and it screams Autumn to me.
I also want to say that although I did finish the baby quilt, I can't post photos until my girl gets it-probably this weekend. 
Now I have one other wall hanging to put binding on and then I can begin my newest quilt project.  I'm looking forward to football season because this is when I get so much quilting done.
Have a joyous weekend.
