This is my October challenge. The picture does not do it justice. I loved working on this. All the fabrics were left over scraps from a jacket I had made 15 years ago. They were just too pretty to throw away. I knew someday that I would drag them out for the perfect fall project. Fall is my favorite season and so my piece is very predictable-leaves. The flavor of the month for me was fuchsia. I actually had not planned on using napkins in this piece, but they wiggled their way in. The golden leaves and the 3 golden strips are from the napkin. My favorite parts of the construction were the piecing of the background--totally serendipitous, and gilding the leaf fabrics. That is always a chance to play with the machine stitches and with the metallics. I just love glitz. The dimensions ended up being a little larger than 10", but I wasn't about to ruin the design for the rule.
