Friday Funday! It’s “Fall Arrival” at Quilt Dash this Month!

Posted on October 21, 2022 by TK HarrisonOctober 15, 2022

Fall colors make a beautiful quilt!

“Fall Arrival”
Designed by Phyllis Dobbs!

This appliquéd & pieced quilt measures 49” x 59” when finished.
The blocks are 10″ square finished & 10 1/2″ square unfinished.

The Fall Arrival quilt pattern can be easily adjusted to make it smaller or larger from the original quilt pattern.

The quilt is made with 20 – 10″ square blocks in an alternating color arrangement.

There are only two blocks that make up this beautiful “Fall Arrival” quilt pattern:

An appliqué leaf on half of the blocks creates a visual point of interest to illustrate falling leaves!

This is what one of the rows in the “Fall Arrival” quilt looks like!

When you finish your fall quilt, you can use this pattern to welcome spring, by using brighter colors with green leaves.
