Fall Inspiration Starter

Fall Inspiration

For a change of pace from deadline sewing I turned back to a scrap stash WIP. I find it very freeing to unwind with this “made fabric” project when concentration on a project becomes too tense and stressful. Heaven knows we quilters have scraps. I have a wide variety of scraps because I do a lot of sewing for store displays so they are not color or style coordinated. It doesn’t matter on a project like this and that’s exactly what I like about it. You can see my theme was apples, perfect theme for fall, but the fabric picks are anything but fall or apples. I start with a pentagon of some sort and just start adding fabrics until I have the size for my template. In this project I am using a hexagon but a simple square will work just fine for easier construction. Follow the photos to see that it’s as easy as one, two, three. Relax, unwind and then move on to tackle the difficulty that made you take a break.

Oh, and it’s okay not to finish this “made fabric” anytime soon. I’ve been working on mine for a couple of years!
