An Autumn Herringbone Quilt : :

An Autumn Herringbone Quilt // Maureen Cracknell Handmade

Can you believe it was just last Thursday that I shared this new QAYG idea and by Sunday night this quilt was finished! This pattern is that quick and I'll be sharing the tutorial for it on Monday, if all goes well this weekend.

AMH Patchwork

But for today, I just want to share my pretty, new finished quilt. I love it so much! It's like my own personal, cozy library of Anna Maria Horner fabrics. There is such harmony in her collections, and this quilt includes at least a few strings from nearly all that I have stashed over the years!

LOVE!

The warmth and boldness of Anna's colors feel like Autumn to me, so I backed this one with her soft Folksy Flannel, and named it my Autumn Herringbone Quilt to leave on the sofa for the season.

Keeping with that theme I chose a very Fall-ish variegated thread by Aurifil, my favorite, for all of my quilting and for when I machine stitched on my AMH scrappy binding!

AMH Scrappy Binding

Here in Potter County we are just about a week away from when the Fall foliage is in full flourish. One of our most favorite spots to see the beauty of this season is at a lookout just a fifteen minute drive from our house. I couldn't dream of a better backdrop for this quilt! We figured we were a little early to catch peak viewing time for the vibrant Autumn foliage, but it was worth the try!

The sun was bright and changing fast, and we left with just a few good shots. I wish you could have been there!

Back at home I took a few more close up photos to share just how pretty this quilt is! My favorites are those strings of Anna's extra soft voile & flannel and I love this scrappy binding!

    1. I took close up pics of what the quilting stitches look like on the back, but forgot to take a photo of the entire back. I'll do that for the tutorial. It's just one big piece of an AMH Folksy Flannel print. It very pretty and sweet, a nice contrast to the super colorful, scrappy front!

  12. Gorgeous! I already had plans to make a quilt for our bed using mainly AMH fabrics. So wish I could get my hands on some of her Good Folks. Can't wait for your tutorial.

  13. This quilt is gorgeous! I MAY have a large pile of batting that needs to be used - so this would be a perfect idea for it! (I was just looking at it the other day and thinking that I needed to use QAYG!)

    ReplyDelete
  14. So pretty! But I want to see a picture that shows the back as well! My stops at your blog are always a bright point in my morning (both literally -- so much lovely color! -- and figuratively)!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Girl, you have been whipping quilts out left and right! I really do love both this one AND your Rock 'n Romance QAYG. Anxiously awaiting your tutorial! I'm definitely making one!

    ReplyDelete
  16. I'm anxious to see that tute! I had decided on making herringbone quilts for the bunk beds and futon in the grandchildren's room. I wanted easy and something to use up the strips I have had stored for EVER! I had planned to make each strip and sew to batting/backing to make a psuedo qayg project...wonder if your method is the same or better...can't wait!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Love, love, love your work, you are so talented! Just wanted to ask, is there a specific place you prefer to buy fabric from online? Where I live there are not many brick and mortar choices. Thanks and keep the beautiful quilts coming!!

  56. Such a dazzling and striking quilt - I really like it. Certainly suits the AMH fabrics!

  57. This is the greatest motivation I could ever get for getting back to sewing soon. I just purchased new sewing room furniture and it's a pledge I made, to NOT try and sew till everything is sorted, placed where it belongs and it looks neat in here again. At least as neat as to make it presentable. Love all your lovely fabric scraps and it's such an "Autumn" delight. Thanks for the shove to get my room done...

    ReplyDelete
  58. I promised myself I would not print out anymore quilt patterns--but this one I want to make A.S.A.P. I don't have the fabric collection you have, but will make due with what I have. Only wish I had the money for the autumn color fabrics. I do have a lot of 2 1/2 " strips in my stash. I want to make this as a Xmas gift.

    ReplyDelete
  59. LOVE it Maureen! It's colorful and fun and makes me happy to look at it just like I thought it would! The location for the photo shoot is perfect and beautiful. I would definitely like to try making this quilt one day!

  75. Oh, what a marvelous quilting project you dedicated to your fan-followers and readers. That was totally amazing. Seriously, you did an awesome job Maureen. The new QAYG idea is indeed much appreciable and adorable. The title you made was also attention grabbing. The theme patters with the combination of gorgeous colors made the quilt super eye-catching. Love your Autumn Herringbone Quilt for its beautiful design. Though my browsing story was to trail in some Tree Removal service in Walnut Creek, Orinda, Lafayette, Moraga, Alamo, Danville, San Ramon, Dublin, Pleasant Hill, Concord, Martinez, Antioch, Pittsburg, I was completely satisfied with what quality ideas and job you shared here for us.
