Little Green Quilters' Update

I have finished my maple leaf blocks! I need 72; it turns out I made 75. My design wall is too small to hang them all, and you can see the rest stacked on my ironing board to the right.
This next week is for sashing. It is not my favorite part of the assembly process, but it will make my chosen layout look great! I just hope I have enough fabric....

In the meantime, I do keep from getting bored by taking out a bit of red and white fabric to make blocks for my red-and-white quilts!
And last of all, here is a very bumpy pumpkin! I have never seen one like it before...

Beautiful maple leaves. I also dread sashing.

Your autumn leaves are just wonderful and I love the glorious variety of fabrics you've used. What color(s) will be sashing be?

Those extra block can become a table runner, a wall hanging, or pillows!

Cheers!
