{Sew} Modern Monday | A Fall Mini Quilt.

For the last few weeks, Fall has been in full force here in Iowa. Cool + brisk nights, warm + sunny days. It seems like the leaves along the bluffs have turned brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow almost overnight. Yes, Fall is definitely my favorite season of them all! So it seems almost fitting that my love for Fall carries over into my quilting, right?

I've had this little improv + scrappy pumpkin in the back of my mind for quite some time and last week I was finally able to bring this idea to life. Using just a few scraps and some yummy Robert Kaufman Essex linen, I had this mini quilt top done in no time! I love it when ideas come to life and turn out even better than I imagined!

More organic wavy quilting (can you tell I love it!) with a matching Aurifil thread happened this weekend and I really think it gives this mini quilt a nice finish. Mmmm, that texture! I'm pretty sure you all might see a few more little improv + scrappy pumpkins before this season is over!

Happy Fall!
