Scrappy Little Leaves

This is a scrappy little wall quilt of several different kinds of leaves finished just in time for Fall! This was inspired by the Scrappy Little House quilt I made for a travel project. So used the same idea with leaves by starting with 5" charm pack for backing squares and 5" batting squares. While on vacation I hand quilted them with embroidery floss. Here they are before embellishing.

I then added a backing fabric, and sewed 1/2" strips through all layers to hold the layers together.

 

I love how the variety of colors just meld together so well.

  Here are the leaf sketches I made and then traced them on the fabrics.

Here is my little sewing buddy Olive - all happy to be my office chair while I'm sewing at my machine! She is always by my side.

Thank you for following my blog! Happy Fall to All :)

Scrappy Little Houses - Finished

I made these scrappy little houses with leftover pieces of fabric on individual squares for a traveling project. They started with batting and no backing so I could easily add hand quilting and embellishments. Of course I had to make a little dog house too.

 

These are the blocks before embellishing.

I had some fabric in my stash with city roads and pictures which was perfect for the boarders. I used 1 inch strips folder under on both edges and machine stitched between each block. Then I added the backing and did some hand quilting along each boarder to hold to all together.
