Harvest Puzzle

 Why do I call it Harvest Puzzle?  Well it got it's name because I put it together like a puzzle.  It all started with two panels actually.  The 'harvest' was a part of one panel and the 4 other prints were from a different panel.  After determining a size and trimming down the blocks I gather several different prints I might want to use, looking for colors that match or coordinate.   

                                            

After framing the two center blocks with black fabric, I decided they needed a black and cream checkerboard around them.  Okay now I am off to a good start. 

Or so I thought I was and then I got stumped and walked away for a few hours and then came back and decided it needed some orange that reads solid. I used a mottled orange to frame the checkerboard blocks.  And from there I decided I didn't like any of the previously chosen fabrics, they were just too busy. So I used a cream with tan polka dots to add a calming effect for the pinwheel and flying geese blocks that I pieced next.  See I told you this was a puzzle!!!  Want to see how it ends up?  Just scroll down. 

Ta da!!!  All done.  Notice the 'harvest' received matching checkerboards added.

Want to see some close ups of the quilting?  I know you do, LOL

I had tons of fun quilting this on my Nolting FunQuilter, nothing too complicated.

I am entering this into the Panel Challenge hosted by Prairie Moon Quilts.  I am so glad I was able to use up another panel!  I love working with them to make them unique.
