Already thinking of Autumn

Posted by Kristen on July 14th, 2009 at 03:59pm

Even though it’s still mid-summer, I’m already thinking of Autumn. Sometimes summer gets so jam packed with activities and gatherings that all I can do is look forward to returning to the daily grind of September and beyond. Things are less hectic when everyone’s in school, yes?

So I was thinking, as a beginner quilter myself, July is the perfect time to start working on a quilt you can use during those cold months. It seems premature to think about, but how awesome will it be when your new comforter is completed in time for that first frost of November. And let’s be honest, the cold creeps up on us like a thief in the night, it does!

Here’s a few quilting patterns I came across that will look fantastic as a throw on the sofa or a spread on the master bed.

Stamp Block Quilt – 40 different small blocks of fabric make up this stamp quilt. With so many different fabrics, you won’t need a color scheme and can use up any scraps from your fabric stash.

Seashells Quilt – Inexpensive crayons are used to create seashells images and shading on this beach-inspired quilt. Sandpaper works as a transfer for ironing on seashell templates.

Quilted Star – Small wall hanging are perfect projects for beginner quilters, and this Ohio Star quilt is extra simple with a rotary cutter. This colorful quilt made with a center star quilt pattern will brighten up any room.
