Maple leaves in Autumn

  Years ago I did a great workshop in Heathcote with a group I was part of. Actually it was back in 2013. It was a Helen Godden class.

I was also a part of https://quiltingblockswapsaustralia.blogspot.com/search?q=Maple

And another swap I was involved in.

So being part of these swaps gave me a few blocks sitting in a container. So I just wanted to join them all together. 

Read about it here.https://jobutterfield.blogspot.com/2017/01/using-up-some-block-swap-blocks-and.html

This is the quilt now.

All quilted and bound.

The backing is just as beautiful.

It is lovely.

Using up some block swap blocks and a quilting project block

I was looking through some odd boxes I have and came across these blocks I received in the 12" & 6"  block swaps. I asked for autumn colours and maple leaves.
These groups blogs are no longer operating as they are on Facebook. I am not so I don't see what is happening but I wanted to do something with the blocks.

  This is the centre block that I used. It was a quilt as you go, raw edged applique and machine quilting techniques taught by Helen Godden.... what was I to do with it.. I don't do wall hangings...

Machine quilting class with Helen Godden held at Heathcote Quilters

So this is what I have come up with so far....

A play with ideas

This is what I have decided on

Workshop with Heathcote Quilters

I had a great day out at Heathcote today

Barbara from Strathdale Quilters came and showed us how to make a small wall hanging.

It is called "4 in the raw" by Helen Godden.

I used Maple Leaves so hopefully I can use them with my 6" block swap squares I receive.
