Turning this selection of prints from the Town Square collection by Holly Taylor for Moda into a long log-cabin-block runner was the plan from the moment I first saw this fabric collection.  I have always wanted to work up a one color quilt. These blues were the perfect opportunity! (Blue is my favorite color : )


These blocks worked up so fast. Pieces can be cut and pieced in the traditional piecing method, but I chose to strip piece these. I tried this method with Autumn Beauty Runner and loved how quickly the blocks went together. Again, I pre-pressed the fabric with Best Press and came up the same results - crisp, flat blocks!


Straight line quilting was just the perfect touch - clean and simple. Love it! Makes me smile every time I walk past it : ) Hmm, is that totally silly or totally understandable???


             I also love a good quilt roll : ) and 84" makes a good one!














It's going to work just fine on the entertainment center until it's time to put out something for spring. (Yes, that's one last little bit of Christmas still out. Just not ready to put it away yet.) My young teenage son said it's his favorite quilt. Score one for mom! : )

Autumn Beauty - fresh finish using Fall Festival fabric line by Wilmington Prints fabrics. Lovely, lovely fabric. It reminds me of the color of a sunny autumn day when the light filters through and bounces off the orange and yellow leaves - warm and cheerful.

This is my second entry for the Blogger's Quilt Festival by Amy's Creative Side in the Mini Quilts Category.
