Fall quilt for hubby
#1
My husband loves fall colors and I've been collecting fabric for about 5 years. I probably have enough for 3 quilts by now. My problem is, I can't decide what pattern to use. I've toyed with the idea of a Lone Star, a Bargello, a Trip Around the World, or a quilt similar to Turning Twenty (abstract) but it would probably be Turning Eighty - since the size will be about 75 X 75". I'm having problems visualizing the end product. Would appreciate some input or ideas on other patterns. I have tons of colors that would work for a fall quilt - and would like to use quite a few fabrics.

Here is a fall quilt I made last year

I always think of maple leaf blocks when it comes to fall prints- scrappy ones would be cute.

You could make a Twister, or Lil' Twister. The difference is using 10" blocks or 5" blocks. I love how they turn out. The trick is to make sure there is contrast between each block so you can see the twister.

Terri Degenkolb has an awesome pattern called ‘October Sky’ in her Full Circle book. It’s perfect for oodles of fabrics and has a nice masculine design. It’s in the upper right corner of this image.
