Fall Table Topper Finished

Two things to share today:

My Island Batik Ambassdaor Project is done.

We were to make a table topper of any size for the Fall season, 

using fabrics from our allotment. 

I chose leftover colors that I associate with Fall in Michigan. 

I had an easy time cutting out the pieces using my Acccuquilt GO! 

Sewing was quick since the pieces aligned accurately. 

The hardest part was deciding how to quilt it. 

I had read a few posts from Christa Watson which gave me a better perspective 

(no pun intended) on how to quilt the foreground and background. 

So here it is on our coffee table and ready for Fall:

 and some close-ups. Please keep in mind, 

I am a confident beginner when quilting on my domestic sewing machine. 

and NEXT 

The Road Home Row Along is nearing its end. 

I want to thank all of the people who stopped by my blog to read about Michigan,

download my pattern 

(which is available until October 31), 

and left such nice comments.
