This BOM Big Block Quilt was delivered in four (4) parts in 2006. Fall colors were perfect for a “Walk in the Cottagewoods.”

The Color of Fall
My (third) foster mother from Iowa is visiting us for the week and always brings us joy. When she wintered with us last year, she had planted some lovely plants in flower pots to enjoy. Unfortunately, we were unable to keep up with the watering schedule for all but one plant — which was frozen and mostly died — but my husband put his green thumb on it and it’s thriving on our dining room table. That’s all that’s left of her beautiful flowers.
My daughters’ decided since we killed off all of her flowers, they needed to replace them. This absolutely beautiful mum plant was used to decorate the coronation set design from our daughters’ school’s homecoming last week. It is huge, with blossoms spilling out over the edge of the flower pot! It definitely reminds me of fall colors:
As with many things, I pulled some of the colors from the plant and this is what I came up with:
I can envision a beautiful quilt made from the fabric colors above. Can you?

Birthday Shopping in My Quilt Studio
A dear friend is having a birthday in a week. She is also a quilter. That’s what makes it so FUN – when I have friends who share the same passions that I do…and especially when I can do my birthday shopping right from my home quilt studio! Although it’s sometimes hard to let go of some of my quilt fabric treasures, is so much easier for me to do than having to go to town and purchase items when I already have more than enough at home. I can mix and match and come up with a great quilt kit birthday present without ever leaving the comfort of my casa!
Do you do your birthday shopping for others from your quilt stash?
Flashback Tuesday: Faded Baskets Table Topper
Although the fabrics used to create this table topper are springtime colors, this is a lovely table topper that can be made with any seasonal colors! That’s one of the reasons I like to showcase my older designs and patterns from BOMquilts.com, because they are timeless (and free!).
