Of the three quilts I made recently in fall colors, this one is my favorite. Half of the blocks are 9 patches and the other half are split between 2 fabrics cut into 8.5" squares.
The backing is a favorite Bali batik from the 1990s.
The quilt is 58" x 71.5". It has Hobbs 80/20 batting in it and it was longarm quilted by Robin Diaz.
I had just enough of the binding fabric with only a narrow strip left over.
When you see the blocks closer, you can see how many greens and blues are mixed in with the brown, rust and gold fabrics.
The large print in the center of the quilt is one of my favorites and I had it in 4 colors. When it was cut into squares there were dark ones and light ones which made the layout challenging.
Yesterday I pulled out the tomato plants and got the cages put away for the winter. It took over 2 hours because the plants were so large and tangled with each other. It was the last day in the 60s with rain and dropping temperatures coming. We will be in the 20s overnight by the end of the week.
I'm glad I picked all of the larger tomatoes last week. Some of them are already ripening.
