I need to make an Autumn Bouquet quilt!
I love applique. And I love these quilts that combine piecing with applique!
Sharon Keightley has chosen color schemes suitable for autumn days, with rich browns and warm oranges. Reproduction fabrics work wonderful in these quilts, and the traditional applique patterns recall historic quilts from the 19thc.
This Rose of Thornes quilt has a primitive feel that I love. Sharon has a 'make it easy' tip and I could make the applique in a few days. And she has no-fail Wild Geese instructions. Maybe this is the one I need to make.

I have saved my very favorite until last. Sharon's Surprise was inspired by her study of antique quilts that combined pink and red.
I love these colors. I love the flower block with its reverse applique and the unique scalloped border. I love the light background and the way the applique colors pop.
This is it. This is the quilt I need to make.

I was given access to a free ebook by the publisher. My review is fair and unbiased.
