Sometimes it is so easy to set aside a project thinking I will get to it later. At the beginning of July I picked a project I needed to finish up. I am glad I picked this little wall hanging that I needed to decide on where to go with finishing it into a flimsy and get it quilted and binding added.
After picking out what panel I wanted to work with, I got to squaring up the pumpkins in a tub square to begin this wall hanging back in early June. I added a black border and stenciled on the fall leaves using fabric paints in different fall colors layering until I got the look I wanted.
Then I stalled and wasn't sure what I wanted to do for the rest of it. Middle of July rolls around and I dug it out again and knew just want I was going to do. Checkerboards and flying geese to the rescue!
And to pull it all together black with metallic gold marbling for the outer border.
I always add a hanging sleeve to the back. I prefer to do a split one so you only have to put one nail in the wall. This one is now added to my shop.
Thanks goes to Elm Street Quilts for hosting OMG- One Monthly Goal where I will be linking up with my July finish. Also linking with Midweek Makers, and Wednesday Wait Loss
Now to figure out what to make my August goal for OMG.
I have a lot of Christmas panels that came with my fabric flannel bundle last year - I guess I need to get busy making some pillows and little wall hangings for Christmas out of them.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! The checkerboard works great with all of these different themes.
ReplyDeleteYour stenciling with paint on fabric is really neat! That's something I've never tried. It sure works nicely with the panel design!
ReplyDeleteVicki your quilt is fabulous and stencil painting the leaves adds so much. So clever and cute.
ReplyDeleteThis little Fall wall quilt looks fantastic! I love the checker board and flying geese working together to frame this basket of pumpkins design. And your stenciled leaves look awesome! The leaves stand out perfectly with their subtle appearance.
ReplyDeleteLove this finish! The leaves you stenciled are great and the borders you added are just perfect. The split hanging sleeve is just right....only one nail is great for smaller wall hangings. Congrats on your OMG!
ReplyDeleteVery creative! Congrats on the wonderful finish! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Love the split sleeve idea, too. Simple!
ReplyDeleteNice finish! You do such fun things with panels!
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki! What a fun finish to this cute pumpkin panel. How cool that you stenciled some leaves on the border. They look great! Nice job and I suspect it will be a quick seller especially when everyone starts thinking about Fall. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
