I was quite glad to finish this in the end - but I'm so very pleased with the outcome! Don't you LOVE the stripey orange binding?!
It is now on its way to its new home - I hope she likes it!
I will post some of the back once the quilt arrives.
Now I am off to bed. We had a six hour car journey today and I'm exhausted. Will fill you in during the week on the lovely warm beachy holiday we just had. It's back to school on Monday!

Oh my, it's greata and I am love with the stripey binding - it sets it off perfectly!
It's gorgeous, Louise! You are the quilting queen. I love your choice of fabrics, too. Well done!
Hello,
That is really lovely. I'm quite attracted to this type of quilt. I'm pretty ignorant on all matters quilting, so sorry about the stupid questions. Are the tree and all the leaves appliqued? So there is no piecing involved?
What sort of fabric is the white? Is it special quilting fabric? And, last question I promise, is it hand or machine quilted?
Sorry, I had no intention of asking so many questions, I really only came to say how much I like your quilt.
awesome.... I luv it.... what lovely fall colours...
luv Abby
Hi Allison - ask as many questions as you like, I'm happy to answer anytime! Yes, the tree and leaves are appliqued. I love doing applique - particularly on these little quilts. The white fabric is actually sort of off white and is quilter's muslin. You can find this easily and it comes in various levels of quality. I really love the japanese ones like I am using for the train quilt I am making - the quality is just beautiful. And last, I made the whole quilt by hand including the quilting. Again, this is easy on the smaller quilts although I just taught a girlfriend how to hand quilt about 2 weeks ago and she has nearly finished her first single bed quilt! Now that is something I have never done!
Thanks for the quilt love everyone!
it really is beautiful!
love the little leaves, all of the fabric, and yes the stripey orange binding!
lucky, lucky girl!!!
can't wait to see those vacation shots!
I really love that quilt. Autumn is one of my favourite seasons, and yours really enhances that image of autumn. The stripey binding looks great too. I cant believe that the holidays went by so quickly too.
OMG - that is so gorgeous !

That quilt is just gorgeous. I love the different colours of leaves. Glad you had a nice holiday.
