Autumn Freeze Frame Cutie Quilt

This hot, Hot, HOT summer has left me dreaming of autumn.  I long for boots, hot cocoa, falling leaves, cool breezes, sweaters, and quilts, Quilts, QUILTS!

I made this Freeze Frame Cutie Quilt with autumn in mind.  I used autumn colored fabrics and quilted leaves in the blocks. 

This quilt makes me happy!  I'll likely give it away, but I certainly enjoyed quilting it, because RIBBON CANDY!!!

I can't imagine much that makes me happier than quilting ribbon candy and this quilt had space for lots space for it.  Can there every be too much ribbon candy?

The off-white blocks left room for some free-motion leaves.  No two are alike -- just like leaves.

Big Cheese Cutie Quilt

I made the mistake of opening my 1 1/2" scrap bin.  Scraps sprung out and I haven't been able to shut the box ever since.  I've made several quilt tops from this bin and this Big Cheese Cutie Quilt is simply the latest.

This is a small quilt (44"x56") and will likely be gifted as a baby quilt at some point.

I set my pieced blocks against light gray polka dot fabric.

When quilting a bright multi-color quilt, I often choose bright yellow thread.  For this quilt, I chose Sunny Tutti, a 50-weight cotton thread from WonderFil.  I meandered over the pieced blocks and quilted some fun feathers in the offset blocks.

This quilt was designed to use a Cutie Pack (16 fat-eighths).  Pick your favorite Cutie Pack and make Big Cheese for yourself!
