I stated in a previous post that I wanted to use up some of my hand dyed fabric, and I chose Bonnie Hunter’s Checkerboard Rails pattern to do it.
I had gotten this far:
Since then, I have made 142 blocks (assuming I counted right).
Layout has begun!
I can’t show the entire layout, since my wall space isn’t big enough, but you get the idea where I am going with this.
Have fun and carry on!

I have two small cabinets that need a seasonal fall touch, so I decided to use Julie Cefalu’s free Scrappy Leaf Block pattern (The Crafty Quilter) to make two placemats.
The back of one, and the front of the other (both placemats are the same):

I wasn’t so sure about using the leftover fabric that I had for the binding, but I really wanted to use it up.
I am very happy with how they turned out!
Julie’s designs are cute and her patterns are well written. She expanded the Scrappy Leaf Block pattern and added a free Scrappy Leaves Table Runner pattern. If you are looking for a scrappy seasonal project, then perhaps you would like to try this one!
Have fun and carry on!
I have finished the two table toppers and the two pillow covers!
It is difficult to get the quilting to show on the black background, so I didn’t get too fancy with it.

One runner has five pumpkins, the other four. The amount of pumpkin blocks depended upon the size of my cabinets.
The backing… I have lots of this fabric and I am trying to use it up.
All dressed up for the season!
It is hard to tell, but the backing for the white/grey pumpkin is a print of ghosts and pumpkins.
