Challenge Quilt 2010

Here is the top of my challenge quilt -- before quilting.

I have begun the process of quilting it, which is a darned good thing as it is due in less than one week. I have also found that there is a slit in the fabric around one of the border geese so along with the quilting I will be removing the one flying goose and replacing it. (edit: And then it turned out there was a slit in the fabric around another so I had to replace two of them. )

Autumn

Autumn has definitely arrived. And it has been a gorgeous one. After early rains it has been sunny and moderate which seems to have encouraged the development of the most gorgeous red leaves.





But it is not just the leaves that have been beautiful. Flowers are still in bloom. I thought this rose bud looked amazing in the late afternoon sunshine.


And I do not know what this clematis was doing blooming for a second time this year.
