The pattern for the quilt was in Quilt Mania and was designed by Jan Patek. I was just on her web site to check for the pattern and do not find it. I did not do the best machine quilting on this quilt. Even with the Bernina with the stitch regulator, free motion quilting is not my best machine quilting to do. I tend to get the stitches too big on a curve that is coming back towards me. Guess I pull too fast and the regulator cannot keep up with the motion. Still, after washing & drying the quilt, it is not bad and makes a quilt that I will be happy to display. It will grace my living room floor for a few days before I fold it up and place into one of the quilt cabinets.
I mentioned that I finished the last applique border on the Trumpet Flower. I have not attached the final two borders to the main body of the quilt, so a photo will have to wait on that.
I started machine quilting a flag quilt that I have shown the top of recently. Maybe I will have finish #6 to show you soon. I will try to be good and not let our Independence Day pass by without my flag quilt being finished.
Come back for a visit soon.

That's a very nice fall quilt! Really nice!
Congrat's on finish 5! Wow, you are really working over there! Cute turkeys~ I love the flying geese in it, and my favorite fall colors! I'd leave it out for viewing for a while too! ;)
I know just what you meen! The quilt is lovely, and now it is finished, before the fall:)
Congrats on #5, is it a J. Patek quilt,. Always love seeing your quilts, your applique is wonderful.
Another lovely! I can't wait to see your completed Trumpet quilt.
Oh your fall quilt is wonderful. I love turkeys and there are so few patterns that actually look like a turkey. Hooray on getting it finished!!!

Wow your really getting them done, I need to finish at least one t oyur 5!!!!!!!!!!Have a great day my friend. Hugs, Marie
I'm with Marie, I need to finish one to your five. Looks like an ideal fall quilt and as if it scrunched up beautifully after the washing.
Love it! Fall is my most favorite season *s*
actually, im ready for fall...send it on over to me :)
Such another nice quilt! I am enjoying watching you get caught up! LOL! I know what you mean about the stitch regulator. I have my share of issues. Personally, I prefer hand quilting but oh the time when you want to finish something up!
Anyway, thanks for sharing your wonderful quilt with us. Good luck with the rest of your projects!!
This is a cute fall quilt. I have actually been thinking about working on fall quilts lately. If I start now, I might get one done by fall. LOL Winona
This is a lovely quilt. I also love your pineapple down below! Beautiful work on both.
It's a lovely quilt with a terrific theme. I can't wait to see the Trumpet Flower quilt. It was in the first issue of APQ I purchased and is on my wish list of projects.
Happy Stitching...Ann :)
Nice quilt Karen! It turned out wonderful :o)
You did another good job! I never minded doing the binding but a lot of people seem to not like it. This quilt is really cute.
I love the fall colors, so country! I love the style and the way it was put together. Nice job!
I love all your quilts, this one is just as great. I couldn't afford to get my quilts quilted so I machine quilt the odd one too and don't worry too much about those glitches, mine are when I change direction.
Nope, not too early, just right! I absolutely love it, and it is wonderful that you quilted it yourself. Bring on the cooler weather already, I say!
I've missed two postings and both have wonderful quilts! The pineapple one really caught by eye! It is odd that you don't care for binding...the final step. To me this is the most exciting...then of course the wash, dry and crinkle!
Love this quilt - and I say you're just in time for fall! I love fall colors all year round. :)
Wow you are really getting things done! I finished that top recently but still need to quilt it. Hopefully I will get it done for fall.
Love this one too...you have so many wonderful quilts to share!
Looks like a lot of fun to me!
Hugs - Lurline♥
ALL of your quilts are amazing !
I love the colours in this quilt. Now, think how good you'll feel when Halloween gets nearer and all you have to do is get this quilt out and on display. As for the Christmas one, well, it's a long time till Christmas.
Hello Karen, lovely fall quilt.....love the colour selection......I don't mind sitting doing the binding.......look forward to seeing your next quilt...Warm Regards Lyn
it looks great!!! I love pumkins and your fabric choice was terrific.
It's funny but as I was clicking on the photo the first thing I said was: "...and look at that quilting. It's perfect." I do talk outloud noting my reactions for comments and, well, that was the first thing.
It is wonderful!! I like to think you are just early for fall:)
I love that flag quilt and can't wait to see it. I am machine quilting my Americana string star and hopefully it will be done soon so I can display it for the 4th of July.
Now you are ready for fall and how happy you will be when you hang this treasure up! Love it!
Hi Karen, I'm still ooooing and ahhhing over the log cabin in the last post. This is wonderful too. Is there anything you can't do?? Surely there's nothing in the world of quilting. Amazing!
The pattern is so cute! It really is a lovely fall quilt.
Micki
Looking good Karen! Good for you to have another one done!
I am being very sluggish with my creations... Stuck in a ditch! lol!
You go girl! 8-)
Happy stitchings!
Congrats on another great finish. The pattern for that quilt is in Jan's book, We Gather Together, and the book is available on her website.
What a cute seasonal quilt.
Very pretty. Which issue of Quilt Mania was it in?
Oh, I'm so ready for Fall. I adore your pumpkin and turkey feathers. Just divine!
I found your blog yesterday and have so enjoyed looking at all your wonderful quilts and quilt tops. You make things in the same colors that I like..
Your April 7th entry mentions a Liberty Garden Quilt. Could you tell me what book that is in or if you have it completed, could you show us a picture. It is a great quilt and the fabrics you've chosen are very appealing. Thanks for sharing. solsticestudio.blogspot.com
Very pretty! I love fall quilts - must be the colors in them:)
