Swirling Leaves featuring Bittersweet Farms

Hello Riley Blake friends!! It’s Melissa Corry from Happy Quilting and today I am sharing a quilt that is just perfect for this splendid Fall Season we know find ourselves in 😉 I am such a fan of Teresa Kogut and her wonderful folksy prints. When I saw her Bittersweet Farm collection I just knew it would make the cutest Swirling Leaves Quilt 😉 And didn’t it just turn out so great!!!

I have been wanting to make my Swirling Leaves Quilt with a dark background for some time, and I knew that that tone on tone green print in this line would make a perfect darker background!!! It is always so fun to go outside of the box of a neutral background and play with some color. And I love that picking from the line will guarantee that everything matches just perfectly!! The Swirling Leaves Quilt is 10″ Stacker Friendly so you just have to grab a stack and get cutting 🙂

And while this might look a little complex, the Swirling Leaves Pattern is truly is a beginner quilt with basic quilting techniques.   You will be making HST, Stitch and Flip Stems, and lovely two patch blocks to whip up your leaves and the chain to go around them. Cause, you all know I just love a quilt with a secondary chain design 😉 And isn’t that border just so cute with all of the scarecrows peeking out!!

And when it came time to quilt mine, I opted for an all over loose feather.  I love how this gives the look of a twisting and turning. Almost like the leaves falling from the trees, And I think it totally adds to the vintage vibe of this quilt.  And I used a gold thread, and it just looks so great in it’s fall goodness!!!

 And like all of my Happy Quilting patterns, the the nice thing is, the Swirling Leaves Pattern has multiple size options, so you can make whatever size you like. This is the picnic size, (which is perfect for a Fall throw) but you can make it from a Table Topper size all the way to a King size 😉   And big blocks means it will come together super quick, so you can whip one up and enjoy it right now!!!

And that is my Swirling Leaves Quilt featuring the Bittersweet Farm collection by Teresa Kogut ! I hope you have enjoyed this post and I hope you make your own Swirling Leaves Quilt!!!
