Don’t you just love autumn designs? I know that Princess YellowBelly does – in her role as my quilting muse she seems to return to autumn designs and elements for probably around half of all my original quilts and quilting patterns.
Which leaves us with A LOT of autumn, harvest, and fall quilts – or at the very least, autumn-interpretative.
For instance, our Tiger Quilt isn’t technically an autumn design, but it can be used in that way!
Which leaves us with a weird problem. It’s one of those problems that we’re actually glad that we have, because it’s a problem of overabundance.
We have too many fall-themed quilts, wall hangings, and table toppers!
It’s like Old MacDonald had a farm, and on that farm he had some fabric and some fall leaves and left them alone for a while. And having hung many of these projects on my walls for my internal “changing of the seasons” decorating efforts, I think my creativity is running a little low.
Please Help Us Get Our Creativity Going this Fall!
Would you please share with us how you decorate for autumn? Especially if you use quilts, wall hangings, and other forms of fabric art as part of your interior decorating scheme. But even if you don’t really use fabric art in your home, please share with us how you make a fall-ish look.
- Do you decorate more for Thanksgiving or Halloween?
- Do you do a lot of decorating or minimal decorating?
- How would you incorporate unique pieces like furniture?
- Would you use antique – well, anything – to help display a wall hanging or quilt?
Please let us know your ideas, your decorating tips, your past experiences! Fall will be on us before we know it – thank goodness, since I’m done with the summer heat – and I want to do something really unique.
We’ll be sharing some of our past fabric art decorating methods on Facebook & Pinterest, and there’ll be some fun prizes for anyone who gives an answer!
