This blog hop is organized by Calico Joan of Moose Stash Quilting!
In January, my Island Batik box contained this fantastic maple leaf die from Accuquilt. I made 2 different quilts with it.


And now, I’m using it again to make a table runner for the I’m Falling For You blog hop. What is more FALL than Fall leaves??? As well, the scrap table runner challenge for this month is Orange … so I’m making a 2-fer.
We’ve been away for almost 2 weeks. I took this with me to finish while we were travelling. (Yes, I take my featherweight and sew when I can and when we have power.) Well, I definitely was NOT meant to finish this on our trip! I didn’t take enough of the background fabric AND … once I finished the top, earlier today, I realized that I did not take enough batting or backing … groan … Anyhow, thankfully I was able to find everything I needed and get this table runner done! I stippled the background and did straight lines on the coloured portions of the leaves.

Table runner stats:
- Fabric: Island Batik – from the Autumn Wings collection, background is Custard
- Batting: Hobbs fusible
- Quilting & Piecing: Aurifil thread
- Size: 19″ x 37″
- Accuquilt die: Maple Leaf
Here is the Full Schedule for the blog hop:

Hi Gail! This certainly does scream Fall. I really love those little setting stones. They look randomly placed, although we know they’re not. Great job persevering to get this to the completed stage! {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

Awe, thanks, Roseanne! I debated whether or not to put in the cornerstones … obviously the cornerstones won the draw! Hugs back at you! Happy Quilting! 🙂
