An Autumn Sun Quilt Top : :

One week ago I began work on this new quilt top with the colorful September landscape of goldenrod and sunflower fields as my inspiration!

I love this medley of yellow, orange, and brown in all their variations, and since this pattern is reminiscent of a sunbeam, I've decided to call this one my Autumn Sun Quilt!

It came together fast, using mostly Bonnie Christine collections and the quick hourglass block making method I use to create my favorite pillows that I share in issue 8 of Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine! After using this method with smaller cuts to create my scrappy hourglass quilt in Alison Glass Field Day fabrics with happy results, I've been waiting for the chance to try it again using larger pieces!

On Friday my Sweet As Honey backing and binding prints arrived from Art Gallery Fabrics -- Bed of Daisies in Nutmeg wound neatly on an empty spool of Aurifil!

And for this quilt back, a gorgeous amount of my favorite print -- Fly By Night!

I've boxed up this one, along with my Emmy Grace quilt top to be sent off to Sew Shabby Quilting today for some long arm loops and daisies!

I hope to have them back in time to finish and photograph at the same spots that inspired them!

Wishing happy September days to you!
