latest project...

This is my latest finished top.... it was so easy... from cutting it out, to stitching on the outside border, this took me 3 1/2 hours.... while watching a college football game on tv last weekend.


I did cheat, however.... this was two panels that were meant to be table napkins..... they made excellent quilt blocks though, ifI might say so myself.....

The two fabrics I used have a touch of metallic in them, little leaf outlines that look like leaf skeletons. I'm not usually a metallic type person, but I had to use them for this!  I actually purchased the gold piece this summer on a sale table, before I even found the panels..... then, after I had the panels,  I went looking for something to use with them....  found the rust piece.... When I got home, I realized that the gold and rust were the same print!   then, as I was cutting out,  the panel was by the same fabric company.....(Timeless Treasures).  I don't usually buy fabric that way,  I usually try to mix it all up, (that's the scrappy side of me),  but I do have to say that the results were great.
