Quilted - Fall Churn Dash Wall Hanging

Most of the items piled on my sewing table are small and I should be able to finish one a night, if not more. Last night I finished quilting the fall churn dash wall hanging and sewed the binding on - still have the hand sewing to do on it.

I quilted a maple leave in the center of each block. Not that crazy about how it turned out...wasn't crazy about the template so that should have been enough warning. I think I like the overall design I quilted on to the single block wall hanging better. But that is the learning process ... all of these small quilts / wall hangings / table toppers are giving me lots of practice and I am definitely figuring out techniques and designs that work for me.

I'll have another finish tomorrow.

Well, it looks lovely! I think small quilts can be more difficult to choose designs for. I facilate between plain like SID or just a little bit of pattern. Your sashing leaves are a nice touch.

Well, I'm crazy about the idea of a Maple Leaf in each center..looks awesome.

I'm still figuring the "quilting process" out for myself as well...as far as what works and what doesn't.

Looking at your little Churn Dash wall hanging that you quilted a maple leaf in the center. I like the maple leaf, I LOVE the striped fabric use in this. And just love it in general.
