What was your inspiration?

My daughter loves the autumn colours in London. Where we live in Queensland, Australia, the trees are all tropical and don't drop their leaves - so it's such a beautiful novelty for her. I offered to make her a quilt in these colours and she absolutely loves it.

What are you most proud of?

This is only my second patchwork and my first attempt at free motion quilting - it turned out great - plenty of stitch length variations - but it has worked out well overall! My daughter thinks I'm amazing - so that is bliss for me!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Just follow Jenny Doan's instructions and you can't go wrong! Love those nesting seams :-)

Wow! Thanks for your lovely compliments! The finished quilt is on its way to my daughter in London - it's freezing over there so it should come in handy. I was so excited to post it that I forgot to take a picture of the finished product. She promises me she will forward a photo when she receives it. Thanks again. Good luck with all of your projects. Thanks so much Jenny Doan xo!
