Autumn Quilt

If you haven't been paying attention, I adore this season!  There are 2 challenges posted recently, PaperPlay and wee Memories, which ask for autumnal colors.  2 of my favorite things about this season are the changing leaves and being able to bring out the quilts, and after being inspired by Betty's card in the post below this one, I put all that together to make this card for the challenges:

I think the thing that struck me first about Betty's card below is her use of that beautiful pale green as her cardbase, and then adding in all the autumnal colors.  So I started there.  All of my quilt panels are scraps of printed papers that I've collected over the years, except for the stamped one in the lower left and the embossed one on the right edge.  Just as Betty did, I added a pale green to the mix.  After I'd sewed them all down, I added this felt row of pumpkins which my friend Yvonne found years ago and tied on the little tag with some twine.  Then I stamped and cut out some little maple leaves and arranged them so that they look like they're blowing around. 

Supplies: pale green cardstock, various printed autumn papers, felt pumpkin "ribbon", Hero Arts CL119 Happy Thanksgiving (maple leaf), CL361 Season of Giving (sentiment), digital tag from Cilenia, pumpkin and d'vine swirls embossing folders
